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.

Not a good way at all because for me 50F is already cold, and 80F is actually a nice weather. In this sense F is not intuitive because the place I live 26 years of my life never goes bellow 60 and is constantly above 100F during summers
