One of the biggest adjustments I still am getting accustomed to is the temperature. I moved to a country that uses imperial measurements. All my life, I’ve been accustomed to Celsius. Being in the tropics, the range isn’t that wide. Below 20°C is “cold” and anything beyond 30°C is “hot”. Now that I’m in the world of Fahrenheit, the range widened to over 100s!
I had this idea of putting the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales on a table. I did this to help myself be guided to this range. Assigning a color every 10°F makes is a bit easier for my Celsius brain to comprehend. I’m posting it here for reference:
| Celsius | Fahrenheit |
|---|---|
| 0 | 32.0 |
| 1 | 33.8 |
| 2 | 35.6 |
| 3 | 37.4 |
| 4 | 39.2 |
| 5 | 41.0 |
| 6 | 42.8 |
| 7 | 44.6 |
