F is kinda nice for weather as a scale of 1 to 100 of really cold feeling to really hot feeling. But for anything scientific or calibration related, C is great

I don't care how many football fields worth of sun we'll get today.
I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.

Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I'll fight anyone about it.
We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it's great.
But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.
For us who can speak more than one language, that's approxiamtely -18 to 38 ⁰C. I find it unlikely that the lower end of that is frequent where you live. If it is, then the hogher end can't be. Even if we want to base this around winter weather, negative being freezing makes much more sense.
It's not about human senses, it about what you grew up with.
