In C, 0 is cold, 10 is mild, 20 is comfy, 30 is hot (european climate). And sure, Farenheit is more granular. But you can’t actually measure down to the Farenheit (say in weather forecasts, but even in a thermometer it’s iffy), so that granularity is useless (and in fact adds noise). Also, having “negative numbers might freeze” is really convenient for weather.
I can happily confirm the granularity is not useless. I can definitely tell when my house is 73 and when it is 74. And I live where it is very hot. There is a very noticeable difference between like 89 and 91. The actual degrees of difference are pretty useful. The vast majority of terrestial weather also fits nicely into this very simple 0-100 typical range, and you can still easily summarize by describing weather in the 50’s or the 80’s, for example. It’s just better imo.
