Who on earth wants to provide the option to see the weather in Kelvin?

What's not to like about ratio data?

I believe it is actually the SI unit.

So go ahead, move to Staten Island if you like Kelvin so much.

Why do you think the degree symbol is accessed by Option+K on Mac OS?

.....in Kelvin, Alaska.......??

I thought Kelvin was for lighting color temps, not local weather...

A Kelvin degree and a Celsius degree are equal in magnitude, but absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, occurs at 0 degrees Kelvin (-273.15 degrees Celsius).

If Apple was being cute with control-K for the degree symbol in MacOS, they were a little too cute for their own good.

The Kelvin scale is technically not in "degrees" the way Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are. The unit is just "Kelvin."

So absolute zero is 0 K, not 0 degrees K. But absolute zero IS, correctly, -273 degrees C.
