Well I'm in Canada, and here(along with most of the rest of the world....except USA...damn yanks:wink: ) the temps are told in Celsius, like on the news and stuff. But, the problem is, I'm not used to Celsius at all. I live 2 hours from the Windsor/Detroit border so I usually get the Detroit weather on the news. Of course, they use Fahrenheit, so that confuses me, since now I'm usually used to Fahrenheit, lol. What I do as a quick estimate to figure out what something in celsius is in fahrenheit, is I use this formula. It's usually decently acurate, with it usually being a few degrees off. Here's the example:

20 C X 2 = 40 +28 = 68 F

Another thing I never thought of....your thermometer is digital isn't it? One of those ones from Walmart? Look in the instructions or something and see if you can switch the measurement. Since most of the world uses Celsius for temp, maybe the default is Celsius, and you have to change it to measure in Fahrenheit.

Either way....I've rambled on again. 8)
