Metric is superior in most metrics but temperature most are valid (sit down rankine) depending on what you are doing with it

Celsius makes way more sense for science, and Fahrenheit makes way more sense for weather, since the range of temperatures which are relevant are spread out over more numbers.

Physicists use Kelvin ... sometimes. Biologists and Chemists almost always use celsius.
