IMO it’s not even about something making sense, we’re just very accustomed to fahrenheit, so it feels more natural to us.
I’ll be the first to admit that I have no idea about what’s warm and cold in Celsius. I know 0 is quite cold, 20 is room temperature, and 100 is near instant death.
100 is near instant death.
Otherwise known as Dallas, Texas.
20 is a hot room, 15 is room temperature
10 - 30 is average for most weather in moderate parts of the world 5 - 10 is it cold night <3 and you have snow 50 would be a desert
15°C is way too cold as room temperature, 18 - 20°C is the minimum at which I’m comfortable
How does it make more sense??? They’re both just numbers in a scale, but at least one had a useful couple of data points.
I’m ok with Fahrenheit but would just make it easier if the whole world used the same, so I’d be cool with switching.

Celsius is an absolute measurement of a physical phenomenon, and can be tested to check its validity. Fahrenheit is a measurement of what some person a long time ago personally feel like at the time, and it’s not even accurate for most humans.
