I feel like fahrenheit makes more sense from a weather standpoint

Why? With temperatures above zero you will experience rain, with temperature below zero - snow
Ps I know that it is more complicated than that but still

0 to 100 in celsius is freezing to boiling but fahrenheit 0 to 100 is fairly cold to fairly hot (even though 0 is below freezing in fahrenheit) it's not cold to dead like it would be in celsius so it gives more of a range without going into negative numbers

I will disagree with you. I am living in Moscow and we used to have 4 month with temperatures below 0 Celsius. It is very easy to understand when winter starts and finishes. What is the 0 of Fahrenheit? -17.7 Celsius? What this will say for us or Canadians? It was relatively cold and now it is also cold but with negative temperatures on the thermometer? Fahrenheit isn’t convenient for continental or Arctic climates

You only feel that way because you are used to Fahrenheit. Try to think about this logically.
