Fahrenheit is, surprisingly, somewhat intuitive in the very specific case of weather.
Not that it never goes beyond the extremes of the scale, but very broadly speaking, 0-100 F is your weather range, with 0F being cold as balls and 100F being hot as balls.
The balls scale of weather temperature is significantly less intuitive.
Only in america, though. The rest of the world has a more diverse climate and it actually gets proper hot and cold here.
I feel like no matter where you go, most people would agree that 0F is really cold and 100F is really hot.
Again, not that it never goes beyond those, but it's a quick and effective scale.
People's sense of temperature varies with climate. Canadians go to work in shorts at 10C, while australians think 10C is colder than Ymir's frozen armpits
