The Weather Report: Celsius or Fahrenheit?

[darkknightkryta]

It was -5 celsius while I was coming home this morning.

With wind chill there was a day that was -70F.  

These are the coldest wind chills I have ever seen on our WI computer models. -79 in Eau Claire. pic.twitter.com/R9kl6HKpW3

Good times.

But the past few days have been about 20-30ish.

Fahrenheit makes no sense...

How's that?

Wind chill is cheating!

[Dr. Pezus]

How's that?  

It isn't a linear scale. By that I mean that if the Fahrenheit increases by 1 you don't know how much that is unless you know from what it increased lol. There's a reason science uses Celsius

This man has a point!

Also celsius is based around 0 being the melting point of water, which is a very nice base

Yeah, then it's easy to know if you're gonna have rain or snow and if it's fudgy cold or alright

Yep, its just so much more convenient!

So, is anyone going to defend Fahrenheit?

I don't remember non-wind chill temperatures.  
This was more memorable.

That doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Fahrenheit was put together with 0 being the temperature of the brine, and 32 being freezing, and 96 being the body temperature.  
It was later redefined, but with that in mind, Fahrenheit made his scale first, and he made it based on Biology is how I would say it.  
While Celsius based his more on Chemistry.  

Fahrenheit is nicer though for people
0F = cold
100F = hot
0C = cold
100C = dead

[Xevross]

That doesn't make any sense to me at all.  

Coming to think of it, doesn't make much sense to me either. I think a 1 degree C change = 1.8F change and 0C=32F

[Dr. Pezus]

Oh, hang on. It is linear but conversion to and from Celsius is bonkers

Interesting, I'd say temperature is more to do with chemistry though

0F = fudgy freezing my two natural pines off
0C = the point of freezing

Apart from that I agree
