"Temperatures ranging from 100 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit." Delete on the grounds that (i) "100s" can refer to any hundred-something values, not just temperature, and not just Fahrenheit temperature; (ii) the 100-109 range isn't even accurate (see high hundreds = "towards 200" not "towards 109"); (iii) furthermore, any round number can take the -s to indicate a range between that round number and the next one of comparable scale (e.g. "the population of this city is in the hundreds of thousands"): it's a general rule of language/grammar more than a lexical item.

We have the same temperature-related sense for 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s etc. I'm wondering if the thinking may be that these are idiomatic as they can be used without direct reference to the type of quantity, e.g. "It reached the 90s today", whereas we do not say e.g. "This village is in the hundreds" to refer to population. Whether this is sufficient to justify the entries, I'm not sure. Also, the same argument applies to any individual number in a sensible range, e.g. "It reached 95 today".
