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.
Now that you have had a few minutes to laugh, please read my comment again, and notice that I wrote that 19c MIGHT be too cold to wear shorts, this obviously depends on other factors as well.
It’s more about the number range in ordinary use than the granularity.
Ordinary daily temperatures in F run from about 0-100. Numbers outside of this range are extreme weather.

True, though this factor applies equally to both farenheit and celcius right?
19c, might be a bit too cold to wear shorts.
21c, shorts will be fine.
+15 for shorts, or +10 if doing sports
19 is too cold to wear shorts?
I’ll be back in an hour when i stop laughing.

Boiling water feels really fucking hot which is why Celsius makes more sense
I doff my cap to those whose experiences have led to the statement “boiling water feels really fucking hot”.
