I think the opposite, F is better for weather. 100F is a fine near
top-end that people experience, as is 0F. 100C is not an earthly
atmospheric temp, and 0C is freezing, so cold but not seriously. Also,
degrees C are large enough that they use fractions in weather reports
and such. The finer granularity of F doesn't need that.
