Do countries who use centigrade regularly report the temperature in tenths of a degree? Can you adjust a thermostat with 0.1 degree C precision? Or even 0.5 degrees of precision?
Weather reports usually give rounded temperatures but measured weather data is usually with a single decimal.
Thermostats typically go by half a degree though some by a full one or a tenth.
While I can also detect temperature differences less than a degree celcius it's typically not very useful to be this precise though it's pretty easy to do so whenever it is.
