I’m curious, why? I think metric makes sense in most regards but I like the granularity of F. The difference between 70F and 75F is pretty noticeable, but in C, it’s like what? 1 degree?

Because my partner uses C. The constant jump scares from temps is annoying 😀

Separate from that, I use temps for what to wear, so exactness is less important to me. In truth AQI and humidity are much more important metrics to me.

Plus:

Equipment temps are always in C

Using C is a gateway to metric use

Devices built for C are just… better. Example: Any washing machine for C has the temperatures listed on the settings vs the ever so useful “warm” or "colors"

Kettle boils when it hits 3 digits. More fun.

So, lots of ancillary reasons I guess, vs any one direct reason.
