Hi, iam Beatrice Rogers, I hope your day goes 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 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.
How Many Countries Use Fahrenheit? [Solved]
Wow! That’s pretty cool - only seven countries use the Fahrenheit scale. The US, Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Liberia, Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands are all on board.
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., we use Fahrenheit to measure temperature, but in other countries they go by Celsius. It’s kinda confusing, ya know? But hey, that’s just how it is! In some places, like Canada and Belize, they use both systems - so you gotta be careful when you’re traveling.
