Janie, I was working in the clerical side of the Weather Bureau when Oz changed from F to C in the 70's. I still have a badge "Meteorology goes metric" & still remember a fast conversion. Double it & add 30, ie 20C = approx 70F, works fine with lower temperatures, but higher conversions are too high! 40C is not 110F, but it's close!
