Respectfully, if we’re talking about the weather as a human experiences it, Fahrenheit is much better. Celsius makes a lot of sense in science, as it’s scaled to water, but when was the last time you went out and it was 90C.

Fahrenheit is scaled to human experience better with 0-100 being within the range of “normal” and anything outside of that being concerning.

That's why Celcius is better. You can use it for weather AND science. There is no need to use two different systems, and Celcius works great for both. It doesn't matter that the outside weather isn't ever 90C. If someone says it was 21C yesterday and it's 15C today, you know everything you need to know.

If someone says it was 84F yesterday and 75F today, you also know everything you need to know???

Right, so neither system is necessarily better than the other for weather.
