    As you approach 0°F it is getting dangerously cold. As you approach 100°F it’s getting dangerously hot. Celsius is obviously better scientifically, but fahrenheit is pretty reasonable for everyday use (unlike other imperial measurements).

      Really my point is you can memorize new numbers when you look at the weather report.

      When I go (went ) to the US it was not obvious to me looking at the weather in Fahrenheit what it would feel like.

        Of course. I’m just adding that there is some logic to fahrenheit in day to day use.
