  Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F

    That’s not less quick and dirty that’s clean and true.

  It’s close, but I just used this to convert my local temp from F to C and it’s off by 2°, which is huge for Celsius…

    Hence the quick and dirty. It helps burgerlanders like me have a general sense.

    If you want precision then don’t take a shortcut
