Here's an easy way for disadvantaged yanks to learn Celsius:

40C = 104F perfect hot tub temp
30C = 86F hot day
20C = 68F nice cool day
10C = 50F chilly day
0C = 32F freezing

Commit these to memory, then it's exactly 9F for every 5C in between. (or about 2:1)

[da fak with the downvotes? Just refuse to learn?]

The calendar thing is off though. Month first gives day context.

I get it though - if you are brought up with D-M, you get used to parsing it on the fly.

YYYY-MM-DD is the only reasonable way.
