hottest weather you are somewhat likely experience"

Butyoure missing my point. In that there's nothing special about 100°f. It's not like 101f is some super rare or impossible temperature or anything . Or is any major different to 99f.

Of course if you grew up with Celsius it feels second nature. But for someone who isn't familiar with either Celsius or Fahrenheit, the 0 - 100 could be way more intutive.

I did actually grow up on f, until I moved to the UK. C is just a better system. I think you're VASTLY overestimating the utility of the scale going to 100 instead of 40 (and really if you want to get technical you can say C goes from -50 to 50 and that's still a 100 point scale) especially as you can argue the 0-100 scale almost infers a percentile, so gives the false impression that 50f is "50% hot" which it very much isnt, its actually pretty chilly.
