  I’m likely moving to Mexico next year, so I’ve switched the temperature reading on my watch to Celsius in preparation. The problem is that bands of ten degrees in Fahrenheit translate nicely to comfort levels,¹ which is not really true for Celsius, or at least I’m still adapting to get a sense of what those numbers mean in practice. ⸻ 1. For the record: below 0: Stay inside, drink warm cocoa 0–10: Only go out if you have to 10–20: Cold, but doable 20–30: Nice winter-sports temperature 30–40: Cold, but you could run out to the garage without a coat if you had to 40–50: Cold, but you don’t need a scarf or gloves 50–60: Cool. wear a jacket 60–70: Cool, wear a light jacket 70–80: Perfect 80–90: Warm, but not too bad. Go to the pool. 90–100: Ugh, hot. Tell your parents that you’ll pay their electric bill if necessary but they need to turn on the air conditioning. 100+: Stay inside, eat ice cream.

    This scale makes no sense in Fahrenheit or Celsius

    It's pretty much universally agreed that: a) Fahrenheit is more ergonomic for human perception of temperatures, and b) the 7+ billion who use degrees C every single day don't find this to be a problem.
