   I suspect that for a lot of us, it's only the media - in fact, only the   
   print media - who do this. I think in Celsius for both: thirtysomething   
   is too hot for me, much below twenty (unless there's absolutely no wind)   
   too cold. Our weather forecasts have been in C for some decades, albeit   
   with the forecaster giving the F equivalent verbally (but not visually).
