    Tenths of a degree are more noticeable in Fahrenheit than in Celsius for the same reason.

      But you’re using more digits, like if you’re writing 104.2 that’s 4 digits and still not as accurate as using four digits in Celsius like 41.12

        Sure, but I never see people use two decimal points in real life when using Celsius to describe weather.

          Nobody uses decimal points in Fahrenheit, but it’s common using Celsius

          The only time I’ve seen Fahrenheit with decimal points is the saying that the normal body temperature is 98.7F

          Which is actually wrong, this is 37C, already a mild fever

          98.0F/36.6C is actually the normal body temperature
