Kelvin Or Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit is not a metric unit. Kelvin is the official unit (water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K), but degrees celsius are used colloquially.

A kelvin and a degree celsius are the same size, zero kelvin is absolute zero ( the coldest temperature possible) and is -273.15oC.

Metric temperature is measured in degrees Celsius; where o.o deg C is the normal freezing point of pure water and 100.0 deg C is the normal boiling point of pure water.

Many applications, such as the Ideal Gas Law, require use of absolute temperature. The metric system units for absolute temperature are degrees Kelvin or Kelvin degrees.

T in K = T in C + 273.15
