Just remember 0-40c is 32-104f. So a decimal point in Celsius gives a higher resolution.

- CydeWeys 10y agoThat is a good point, but even if it weren't, does it matter? Let's call it 0-38C vs 32-100F (ignore my rounding). Does that additional precision in the latter really matter for every day weather temperatures? 75F and 76F both round to 24C, but does it actually make any difference in my daily life to have that degree of precision? I'm wearing the same clothing regardless. The difference between 75F and 80F is meaningful, and Celcius gives you that discrimination ability, but single Fahrenheit degrees aren't meaningful enough in common tasks. I'm also somewhat amazed that no one has brought up Kelvin (my one true love) in this discussion yet. But that's my astronomy background talking. Black body radiation is a total mess unless you use an absolute temperature scale in the equation, for example.
