Quite simply, Celsius has become the international standard. Actually, scientists will often use Kelvin, and Kelvin is the standard unit for temperature in the SI; but Centigrade (Celsius) is still used a lot in everyday life.

Why do scientists prefer to use this scale over the Celsius or the Fahrenheit scale?
Because it is measured in even numbers with a 0 degree freezing point and a 100 degree boil.
In Florida do you use Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Fahrenheit
What are some countries that use Fahrenheit and Celsius?
USA uses Fahrenheit, Great Britain uses Celsius
Who uses Fahrenheit Celsius and kelvin?
Physicists and Chemists use Kelvin. The Gas Laws, which deal with temperature, must use absolute temperature scales (Kelvin or Rankin). Most of the world's population, including most scientists, engineers etc, use Celsius. A few people who are resistant to a more integrated system of measurement use Fahrenheit.
What scale is easier for people to use Fahrenheit or celsius?
Either - it all depends what you learnt when growing up, or have adapted to as you've grown older. The Fahrenheit scale is almost twice the size of the Celsius scale (between freezing and boiling on Celsius there are 100 degrees, but on the Fahrenheit there are 180 degrees) meaning that smaller temperature differences show up as a larger difference with the Fahrenheit scale than with the Celsius scale. They are just as easy as each other, though scientists prefer Kelvin which has the same unit differences as Celsius but starting with 0 K = -273.15oC (water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K). The Fahrenheit scale was originally intended to be 0oF = freezing point of brine, nominally 32oF = freezing point of water and 96oF = normal body temperature, but later scientists redefined the scale slightly so that water did freezer at exactly 32o F which made body temperature 98.4oF.

Do Hawaiians use Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Since Hawaii is within the U.S., they use the US Customary System, which usually denotes Fahrenheit as the standard for commercial and industry. Doctors usually use Fahrenheit for example to measure body temperature. However, many scientists in the U.S. use Celsius or Kelvin scales.
