The United States uses Fahrenheit instead of Celsius due to historical reasons and cultural inertia. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by a German physicist, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, and became widely adopted in the US. Despite international consensus on Celsius as the standard unit of temperature measurement, the US has not transitioned to Celsius due to the costs and challenges associated with changing temperature references on a broad scale.
