    I know it’s all based on what’s familiar, but I imagine I’d have a hard time converting to Celsius for a weather report. I’ve lived in tropical climates in the US for over half my life so when people say things like “it’s a hot 30 degrees out there!” it just short-circuits my brain.

      If accuracy is not critical you can use some simple tricks to convert between them.

      30C is roughly…2 x 30 + 32 = 92F which is only 6 degrees off the actual value which is 86F.
