    Cause 30C is warm but 39C is heat stroke. Bigger range than 80-89F (warm to really warm), 90-99F (hot to really hot), 100F+ (heat stroke hot).

        We don’t even need that for weather. There’s not that much of a difference between 21 and 22 C, and anyway with wind and shade you can quickly have a difference of a few degrees.

          That’s why weather is not just temperature, regardless of the used scale. But to ask you the same, what’s the difference between 110°F and 111°F?

            Oh no, I agree with you! I don’t understand Farenheit at all. I like Celsius because it makes more sense in terms of definition, and having “negatives can have snow, positives can’t” is convenient.

          I’ve never heard anyone casually refer to air temperature either; its mostly always how fast the wind is on the Beaufort scale.
