For weather, Fahrenheit makes more sense. It's based on a scale of 0-100 which EVERYONE is acquainted with.
Temperatures can occur outside of them, sure, but 0 and 100 are extremely natural upper limits.

Roughly -20 to 45 are cartoonishly arbitrary, provided you're not extremely invested in knowing if water is going to freeze or not.

That's great if your location fits that 0-100F scale. Many do not.

On top of that, I really don't get this obsession with a 1-100 scale for something that doesn't scale linearly. Literally the rest of the world functions fine with Celsius, so it's not like there's a struggle. It purely comes down to what you're used to. The big issue comes when you have to convert between systems, which is literally only an issue with America.
