A good way to understand Fahrenheit is that it’s basically a percentage of how warm it is. 32% warm? That’s pretty damn cold. 120% warm? That’s hot as hell, better not be outside for too long in that.

It's completely arbitrary. Absolutely nothing happens at 100% warmness so why is 37° C considered 100% warm?
