It's a numerically rougher scale.

Consider - 33 deg. C is a HOT day in Canuckland - 91.4 deg. F!

But O deg. C sounds a LOT colder than 32 deg. F.

Fahrenheit is a more expressive way of portraying temperature.

Kelvin would just be whack-o!

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION TABLE
Kelvin Fahrenheit Celsius Significant Values

273 32 0 freezing point of water into ice at sea level


A broader scale but the numbers are just sci-fi high.
