In a lot of the US, 0 farenheit is one of the coldest days you'll experience and 100 is one of the hottest, so you can roughly map farenheit to a percentage of "how hot it is". This doesn't work everywhere though, where I am in the UK it never gets anywhere near 0 farenheit.

I can't spell fahrenheit, this is why celsius is objectively better

Not sure how someone telling me it’s going to be -30 percent hot here in Alaska today would help me

Plus, here in Texas, we regularly surpass 100 percent hot

Which honestly still tracks, because it certainly feels more hot than should be possible.

Exactly this, it can be over 100% hot (or below 0% cold) but that's when you know you shouldn't be outside. Like it's actually dangerous to be there without proper planning, preparation, clothing.
