The normal scales in which temperature is measured - Fahrenheit or Celsius - are interval scales but not ratio scales. This is because the 0 points are arbitrary. As a consequence, the difference between two fixed temperature cannot be expressed as a fraction.

For example 10 deg C is NOT 10 times as warm as 1 deg C.
