Hola, iam Helen Gravette, Hope you’re doing well!
Hey there! You know how different countries use different temperature scales? Well, did you know that the United States and a few other countries use Fahrenheit? It’s true! In fact, it’s been around since the early 1700s. Pretty cool, huh? But why do these countries still use Fahrenheit when most of the world uses Celsius? Let’s take a look and find out.
What Countries Use Fahrenheit? [Solved]
Well, in the U.S., Liberia and the Cayman Islands, Fahrenheit is king when it comes to measuring temperature. Everywhere else though, Celsius is the go-to - no two ways about it!
United States: The United States uses the Fahrenheit temperature scale, which is based on 32 degrees for the freezing point of water and 212 degrees for the boiling point of water.
Canada: Canada also uses Fahrenheit as its primary temperature scale, although Celsius is sometimes used in scientific contexts.
Mexico: Mexico also uses Fahrenheit as its primary temperature scale, although Celsius is sometimes used in scientific contexts.
Belize: Belize officially adopted the Fahrenheit temperature scale in 2010 and it has been used ever since then as their primary temperature scale.
Bahamas: The Bahamas use both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales interchangeably depending on context, but primarily use the Fahrenheit system for everyday temperatures and weather forecasts.
In the U.S., Canada, and a few other countries, they use Fahrenheit to measure temperature. It’s the norm in those places, so if you’re visiting from somewhere else, don’t be surprised! You’ll just have to get used to it - no biggie.
