I agree metric is better but we have no frame of reference in our daily lives, thus the conversion is necessary for it to have any meaning.

    We’re actually slightly diminishing the extremeness of the heat in constant conversion back and forth. The correct figure according to article text is exceeding 39°C, which means it’s not rounded down, so [102.2°F, 104°F) is the correct interval.

    Again, it was already in the title there. Imagine being a Yankee and inserting your weird measuring system in every conversation rather than learning the worldwide one.
