Even though I can make the transition myself between celsius and fairenheit (how however the hell you spell it), I always seem to be able to get more information, or a better picture of the situation, out of a number in Celsius. This is especially valid when it's below the freezing point: I know 3 degrees F is really cold, but -16 degrees C evokes a reaction of "oh wow, that's really cold! that's almost the inverse over the freezing point of 20 degrees, which I tend to respect as comfortable spring weather!".
The reaction is not as strong on the other side, because I grew up respecting degrees F in the 90s or above as "really hot let's go to the beach", 60s-70s as spring weather and ~40 degrees as crisp autumn weather.
