    Fahrenheit makes more sense for gauging human comfort. Most people can sense the difference in 1°F. Celsius crams half the degrees between boiling and freezing into one scale.

    A difference of 10°F is notable, 10°C is quite notable. 60’s is cool, 80’s is hot. Now do a 20° difference in C. 16 to 26 doesn’t sound like a big difference.

    Celsius works better for almost every other useful measurement. Go Kelvin if you must.
