Is your climate control temperature wheel in C or F? If it is in C, you can begin to relate...

Quick, easy, in-your-head conversions for 'human comfort' temperatures

(2 x C) + 30 gives F [double 'C' and add 30]

So, 20C becomes about 70F, etc.

(F - 30) / 2 to go the 'other' way. [take away 30, then cut in half]

Close enough for practical discussions...
