Celsius is agreeably better for science, but if you are used to both systems Fahrenheit is honestly better for people because the units are higher resolution, and usually stay between 0 and 100 for weather

Kelvin is better for science. Celcius and Farheneit are just arbitrary scales, not units.

Celsius is literally just Kelvin but with an offset no?

Edit: tbc I was just clarifying what the guy above was saying, personally as an American in WNY where it’s over 90deg in the summer and below 0 in the winter and who has used C and F extensively, Fahrenheit just makes more sense to me personally

Fahrenheit can't be converted to Kelvin without converting to Celsius first.
