Dear lewslgr,

Here is how to translate Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa:

Translation of degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit:
- Multiply the Celsius temperature with 9
- Divide the result by 5
- Add 32 to the result
- You now have the Fahrenheit temperature

Formula:
 Temperature Fahrenheit = ( ( Temperature Celsius * 9 ) : 5 ) + 32


Translation of degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius:
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature
- Multiply the result with 5/9
- You now have the Celsius temperature

Formula:
 Temperature Celsius = ( Temperature Fahrenheit - 32 ) * ( 5/9 )

Hi lewslgr and scriptor...
Here is the simple formula we Canadians use ( only for above freezing
however )
Double celcius temperature and add 32.
Examples: 10 C = 20 plus 32 = 52F
          20 C = 40 plus 32 = 72F
This formula was given when the metric system was first introduced in
Canada as there were so many "oh so confused" people...seems to work
real close but anything below 0 C I don't know or perhaps I'm too cold
to remember as its currently -25 C tonight and high of - 12C expected
tomorrow :(

That simple formula actually works best for tempuratures around 0 C
(above AND below).  The difference is only 1/5 of a degree F per
degree C, so you only get a 2 degree error at +-10 C, 4 degree error
at +-20 C.

The point where they are equal is at -40.

-25 C is cold!
