For the other Americans that came into the thread hoping to see a conversion:

  • 10c = 50f
  • 30c = 86f

Edit: I'd like to note that 10c is a very reasonable temperature for shorts. I'm a Minnesotan (basically Canada lite (please annex us)), people start raising eyebrows at around 0C

    F = C * 1.8 + 32

    Just want to leave this here

    0C? Fellow Minnesotan here and I've definitely seen plent of people wearing shorts at temps below -5C. But I'm also in a college town so that may change things.

    I once amusedly watched girls sunbathe in bikinis at St. Lawrence University with patches of snow nearby in, I think March.

    Conversely, I personally wore shorts and a tee one fine vacation in Florida around Christmas. It was 60f, and everybody was running around in jackets looking like they were in Chicago in January.

    The quick conversation I use is take off 30 and half the rest to go F to C or double it and add 30 to go C to F.

    20C doubled is 40 and add 30. 70F

    80F take off 30 is 50. Half that is 25. 25C

    It's not completely accurate but close enough for conversation purposes.
