Temp ranges 0-100 in real life in temperate, North America. This is also about what the human body perceives as “really fucking cold” and “really fucking hot”.
What do they span in Celsius? Probably some easily divisible decimals that are just as easy to understand if you’re used to them. Because Celsius is a scale not relative to weather, but rather to water. Which is sciency, but not weathery.
You’re right, the Celsius scale doesn’t span across one particular ‘topic’- but either end point is not only relatable, but specific. You’ve got snows/frosts/freezes at one end, and boiling at the other. Both of those will always happen at that temperature (more or less), but different people will feel comfortable or not in a hugely wide range.

Lol no

Celsius in comparison
OC…water freezes, 100C water boils
