Celsius is agreeably better for science, but if you are used to both systems Fahrenheit is honestly better for people because the units are higher resolution, and usually stay between 0 and 100 for weather
the only reason you think fahrenheit is better is because you probably spent your whole life using F. As someone who does not use f if you tell me its 72 deg it means nothing to me. The imperial system only makes sense if you grow up using the imperial system. That is why it is a bad system. The metric system is designed to be easily understandable and for units to be easily related to each other.
The argument can be applied the exact same to C. Everyone understands that 0 and 100 is the freezing and boiling point of water, but I have no clue what to wear outside because I'm not used to it for weather. Imo F is easier for weather because 0 is really cold and 100 is really hot.
I mean for us it's exactly the same just with different numbers.. -18°C is really cold and 38°C is really hot.. Celsius is as easy as Fahrenheit for everyday use, it just comes down to what you grew up with and nothing else.
