When it's 61º F outside you can say "It's 61º of the difference between damned cold and damned hot" and simultaneously know it's 16º C, 16% of the way from freezing to boiling water.

0º C equals 32º F. 16º C equals 61º F. 28º C equals 82º F. Everything else in human environmental temperature range can be interpolated or extrapolated roughly in a 2 for 1 relationship between C and F.
Or as they say in Spain, "cero grados, ni frio ni calor", translates to "zero degrees, neither cold nor warm" end of quote pardon I might have mispelled "cero", I am bi-illiterate!

As for the interpolation its just like the "9's" multiplication table! Sweet! RR has a beautiful mind!
