Q ~~ Your 20C equiv is 10 out - a typo I expect.
A very helpful hint I got from a newspaper correspondent when forecasts started using C when my generation had all been brought up to F, was that for all practical "What will the weather be like, will I need a coat?" purposes, a simple formula to get a near-enough approximation was to double the C # & add 30:
so that 10C would be about 50C, 20C would be approx 70F; near enough to know the temp for practical everyday purposes. Was v grateful for that aid to coping with the changeover.
