Celsius vs Fahrenheit



I have always been a little stifled by figuring out what a Celsius temperature means in Fahrenheit.  Having to look up the math equation every time I've travelled to a place that uses Celsius, I STILL get frustrated with doing the math in my head.  I mean really .... can you do the following quickly in your head when figuring from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiple Celsius temp by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32
 
If you can, then you are much smarter than me!
 
So I did a little research again today, and found this handy chart that will AT LEAST get me in the ball park ...

So ... even though I won't know the EXACT Fahrenheit comparison when looking at the weather forecast, at least now I know that I want to create 25-30 degrees Celsius with little rain.

But with El Nino .... who knows what will happen.

Or ... easier still, I can just depend on www.weather.com which shows the temps as Fahrenheit ...

Of course, SINCE I WILL NOT OVERPACK, I won't have that many clothes to choose from anyway.

Less than 5 weeks and counting!
