  Yeah, F is just more accurate. I know you can use decimals, but I never see anyone post C temps as 20.2. It’s 20 or it’s 21, which is anywhere from 68-69.8F, expressed as 70. We’ve got a whole extra degree in there!

    Honestly it doesnt matter. It depends on wind, humidity etc that difference between 20 and 21 is non-existent.

    People round out time all the time, why is that different. C is more accurate, people round out of convenience. How accurate to a tenth of degree is almost never relevant. A cloud moves in front of the sun and you feel it change… so you ballpark it.

      C is more accurate? Please, please explain that one to me. And don’t use the BS about water boiling or freezing because neither happen a precisely 0 or 100 where I live anyway (or almost anywhere)
