I will be controversial and say that I think Fahrenheit makes more sense when talking about the weather. Its scale simply makes more sense on human terms: 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot. This is about the tempurature range you can expect to experience between winter and summer throughout much of the world.
Celsius makes more sense for cooking (and everything else) since its scale is calibrated around the phase changes of water.
Nah it just makes sense to you because you grew up with it. I've used Celsius my entire life and Fahrenheit makes no sense whatsoever.
