I dunno, out of all the uses of metric system, Fahrenheit seems the more logical than the rest…
Metric temperature as Celsius is just as random as any other made up system of temperature measurement. Fahrenheit used the temperature of the human body to create his system, which makes a lot more sense than other systems.

Wtf is going on with Dalton

It’s a logarithmic scale based on Kelvin, but with constants shoved in there so 0 and 100 would agree with Celsius.

I’m more confused about Galen. -4 to 4, 0 is “normal”? 50 c is “normal”? For what??

In Galen’s scale, the 0 point is 22 °C, an alright room temperature, but the others are described too vaguely for us to convert. It might also be nonlinear. See the explainxkcd.com article

His degrees X would be a good way to show changes over long periods of time by simply graphing the annual adjustments.
