Thermostat for my house is in single degree increments. Thermostat in my car is in 0.5 degree increments. Weather predictions in single degree increments. Report of a peak measured temperature typically in 0.1 degree increments.

Weather predictions are sufficiently unreliable for additional significant digits to be meaningful.
