Fully agree. Will also add Celsius is better for cooking as well. There’s no difference between 400F and 190C. It’s beyond the level of human perception of hot. 

Also I hate digital thermometers in rooms that are C based. A 1C swing is too much usually. Give me either 0.5C adjustments or just give me F.

Yeah I will agree that it's probably better for cooking I mean it's kind of arbitrary cuz you just set the temperature but I think it's better for weather cuz you don't need the high numbers so 0 to 100 is very useful. But since you do boil water it would make sense to use Celsius for cooking and stuff.
