Are people even capable of accurately perceiving a difference of 1 or 2 degrees in either system? I’m putting on a jacket if it’s 9 or 7 celcius outside anyway. Struggling to think of any human day to day situations where a difference of a degree or two changes the way most people act or feel.
If you need granularity, you can still get infinite granularity with decimals in either system.
the temperature also isn’t the only thing that matters, it also matters what the weather is like, how much moisture is in the air, and how windy it is.
With no wind you can have like -5°C and it’s perfectly fine if you just wear some fluffy clothing, but if the wind starts picking up it can be +5°C and you’ll feel like you’re going to die.

True, though this factor applies equally to both farenheit and celcius right?
7C I wear a hat, 9C my ears are fine
19c, might be a bit too cold to wear shorts.
21c, shorts will be fine.
+15 for shorts, or +10 if doing sports
When I’m going to be I can absolutely feel 68 vs 70F
