if you see an American (me) whining about it being -8 degrees just know that -8C is warm in comparison

10° C <-> 50° F
20° C <-> 68° F
30° C <-> 86° F
40° C <-> 104° F

you can see here that 5° C = 9° F, but the ratio of 10 and 18 is easier to work with. if you remember these four points (and you surely already know 0° C = 32° F) you can freely interchange in your head or at least get a general idea what the weather will feel like

(with practice when someone says 25° C, you know that's 68 + 9 = 77° F)

as other people in the thread have mentioned, within 5° C is about all the precision you need for weather anyway
