    Sure, but I never see people use two decimal points in real life when using Celsius to describe weather.

      Nobody uses decimal points in Fahrenheit, but it’s common using Celsius

      The only time I’ve seen Fahrenheit with decimal points is the saying that the normal body temperature is 98.7F

      Which is actually wrong, this is 37C, already a mild fever

      98.0F/36.6C is actually the normal body temperature

        People do use decimals in Fahrenheit, mostly when talking about body temperature.

        And 98 is not what’s considered normal, though it is within the normal range. Closer to 98.6 is normal.
