    @ LonelyWendigo

    What? That’s a rationalization for your preferred system.

    Depts of Winter -35C
    Spring/Fall 0C
    Heights of Summer +35C

    In Fahrenheit that would be:

    Winter -31F
    Spring/Fall +32F
    Summer +95F

    Which is completely arbitrary.

      Yes, I thought I was very clear that I was explaining my rationalization for why Fahrenheit is my preferred arbitrary system for a specific use case. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and centered around human existence. Celsius is also arbitrary and centered around the phase changes of water. I made no mention of season because again, that is totally arbitrary, not universal, and depends wholly on geography. The only temperature scale that even gets close to trying to not be arbitrary is Kelvin, but I don’t see you bullying for it’s everyday use.
