Celsius for most purposes. Fahrenheit and Kelvin are occasionally used in science when precision is necessary.

Celsius for day to day business and Kelvin for science.
Metric system exists for a reason.

-57 Celsius was the lowest temperature ever recorded, on an island in the Arctic sea in 1988.
44 Celsius was the highest temperature ever recorded, in central Masovia in 2009.

101 degrees, 21 years difference. Quite vast.

If unsure of current user, assume Thama. If I am being nice about something I do not agree with, assume murder and call both the Russian and German police immediately.

Kili keeps it around 60°. When during hot times, that is. In winter, we keep it around 80°. Not bad temperatures, I'd say.

We don't need a temperature scale. Our temperature is 26 degrees Celsius every day, all year round (on the coast, where most of the people live).

I also play badminton and will represent my nation in the next Olympic. At that time, I'll be most likely replaced by my roommate here, Arina. She works at the grocery store next to our apartment.

Why are you saying bad things about me, Rima? I am an author and I own that grocery store!
Oh look! She won the gold medal. Now I should stand her bragging about it.

The Celsius scale is officially used in Pavonistade and is sometimes accompanied by its Fahrenheit counterpart. For example, a report may say, "the current degree in the capital is 30 ºC (86 ºF)."

The highest degree in Pavonistade ever recorded was 55.4 ºC (131.72 ºF) in the arid-desert region of Kastor's Arid. In contrast, the lowest degree in Pavonistade was -22 ºC (-7.6 ºF) in the summit of the 6957-meters Mount Forstazika.

We use Fahrenheit in most circumstances. All measurements are in Imperial and we base are Imperial settings on the UK or European versions.
I'm a conservative republican who lives in the UK and would prefer to live in a far more conservative 18th or 17th century period rather than now despite the sacrifice of technological advancement.

Spacers and dome-dwellers tend to use Kelvin; groundhogs tend to use Celsius. No one uses Fahrenheit.
Even in Antiquity, all the good names were already taken.

IC, we're the Terran Empire. No, not the Warhammer 40k Empire of Man. Or the Empire from Star Wars.
