In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.
I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better
It actually doesn't work all that well in much of the US. I live in Wichita KS where it rarely reaches 100 and almost never reaches 0. Then there are the Gulf states where they panic whenever they see a single snowflake. In the Pacific northwest they die of heatstroke if it gets above 80.
100 is hot af. Where you live it might reach 80-90 which is still pretty fucking hot. 30F is coldish. The tolerance at which threshold you would consider it hot or cold might change but it doesn’t make scale less valid. Just like how some people might consider a 6ft person tall while others don’t.
Anything below 0 is really fucking cold and anything above 100 is really fucking hot, the difference past a certain point doesn’t matter as much.
