Fahrenheit
This term refers to a specific temperature scale and is almost always used as an attributive noun or a modifier for the word degrees. It carries a strong geographic connotation, as its usage is now largely restricted to the United States, whereas most of the world utilizes the Celsius scale.
Because it names a specific system of measurement, it functions as an uncountable noun. You would not refer to multiple fahrenheits; instead, you refer to degrees Fahrenheit to indicate a specific point or interval on that scale.
