C predictions tend to be exact numbers. F predictions are typically "50, low 50s, mid 50s, high 50s" (four per decade).
10 C degrees are 18 F degrees. So in this interval, C has ten points and F has 7.2 points.
So maybe F better suits the accuracy of predictions (i.e. significant digits -type stuff).
