    As an American engineer, I see the value in Celsius over Fahrenheit, so I’ve been slowly changing all of my references to temperature, like my weather app, the weather units in my car, etc. to Celsius.

    Didn’t take that long to get used to it as long as you associated different weather “feels” with multiples of 10.

    0 °C = obviously cold and I need pants and an overcoat

    10 °C = chilly on a wet rainy day, pants and maybe a sweater or jacket

    20 °C = comfortable, shorts and a long sleeve if cloudy or short sleeve if sunny

    30 °C = hot, definitely shorts and a T-shirt

    Americans are resistant to change though, so I don’t expect this to take off anytime soon.
