   When I first started to learn to fly in 1998 I had issues with an early ground school test because I couldn’t remember how to convert F to C in temps. Since then I’ve always had my devices (where they had weather) in C. I think I always believed I would move somewhere where I could use it first anyway.

   Today I reverted all my devices to F as, well, I realize the dream of going somewhere else is pretty much dead and I do confuse a hell of a lot of people around me with it all.

     @PJFDF For me I don’t even do the translations much anymore. C just makes sense in my head. @jp

     @chris I run with the C on my devices as well, and I always end up doing C x 2 + 20 = roughly F in my head
