He was a German scientist in Poland, actually.

It isn’t about being “scared” of them, it is about them being used.

And we don’t just make forecasts, we report actual temperatures.

But whatever, you just want an air of superiority.

You go if you want to be precise as Fahrenheit is without decimals.

Yet weather reports rarely include them.

Fahrenheit was literally devised by a physicist, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a European, mind you.

It was based on physical properties, too. Originally 0 was the freezing point of a replicable water solution, and 96 was set at human body temperature (96 used as it made dividing a thermometer easier). It was later recalibrated to put boiling at 212, 180 degrees from freezing, but that’s the original basis.

There is no god-ordained rule that states that 0 has to be the freezing point of water, nor 100 the boiling point.

Fahrenheit also has an inherent advantage to Celsius in that for every 5 degrees C there are 9 degrees F. There is more inherent precision.
