      I saw there was a couple topics back in 2013 about displaying the temperature in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius but it ended there.

      Is there a way to make the Thermal Sensor widget show Fahrenheit?

        I used to be annoyed by this, however, over time I have found it is actually more convenient because all manufacturers publish specs in Celsius, but many don't convert to Fahrenheit in the published specs. I'm generally not concerned with the specific temperatures other than making sure nothing is out of spec, so in this respect they are just numbers.

        The only time I need to do a conversion is when I might want to compare a temperature with ambient and that is infrequent.

          Better to learn to use the far more sane Celsius scale. :)

            "At this time, only three countries—Burma, Liberia, and the US—have not adopted the International System of Units (SI, or metric system) as their official system of weights and measures."
