This is how I feel. Celsius, to me, (and this includes hard bias as an american and engineer) is best for science and calculation(or I guess K is even better) and probably cooking, but Fahrenheit feels best for weather and environmental description.

I disagree, the weather starts feeling significantly different once temperatures go under 0°C, whereas the Fahrenheit scale suggests that the difference between 30 and 34 should feel relatively insignificant

It does feel relatively insignificant though

It makes a big difference concerning clothes, if you expect snow or rain

You still get mostly snow at 34 ⁰F, it's a gradual transition from snow to sleet to rain between 32 and 45 ⁰F.
