Cause 30C is warm but 39C is heat stroke. Bigger range than 80-89F (warm to really warm), 90-99F (hot to really hot), 100F+ (heat stroke hot).

In numerics we have decimal points for that :)

We don’t even need that for weather. There’s not that much of a difference between 21 and 22 C, and anyway with wind and shade you can quickly have a difference of a few degrees.

That’s why weather is not just temperature, regardless of the used scale. But to ask you the same, what’s the difference between 110°F and 111°F?

I very rarely hear anyone refer to air temperature with a decimal though.

I’ve never heard anyone casually refer to air temperature either; its mostly always how fast the wind is on the Beaufort scale.

It’s quite common on digital thermostats to have the decimal place for C.
