This is 100% true. To me, the Fahrenheit system makes no sense at all, even for weather. Celsius is easy, below 0 C everything will be frozen (frost, ice on roads, etc), 20 C is nice pleasant temperature, over 30C is a hot summer day, and anything over 40C is completely unbearable
Like I said in another reply, It’s elegant in a way if you're used to it. The 0 to 100 range is like a spectrum between unbearably cold at 0 and unbearably hot at 100. 50 Fahrenheit is exactly 10 Celsius, which is more cold than it is warm, but it’s still a decent midpoint. The only real downside for weather reporting is that freezing isn’t zero, and I can see why that would seem extremely weird if you’re used to a system where 0 is freezing. But everyone here knows that 32 is freezing, no one needs to be reminded what the freezing point is.
isn't 100 like 37C? Like it's hot, but we get entire weeks over 40C here sometimes, and it rarely drops below 0C which cuts out 30 degrees of the scale.
Farenheit seems to be more suited to cold climates.

Yeah, it really depends on where you live
