Topic: I switched my units on accuweather to "C".

Makes a lot more sense to me. The most important points:Anything below zero: start car up 10 - 15 minutes prior to leaving home to pre-heat defroster.
Freezing point: 0. If it's below 0, I know to take my time driving home because ice is likely.
My body Temp: 36.8 degrees anything past this in the summer and I know it's hotter than I am.
Room Temp: 18 (starting to get chilly) to 27 (starting to sweat) degrees is my comfort zone.
Dessert hot: 45 to 50 degrees - half way to the boiling point of water
Boiling point: 100 degrees. I always thought of this as 100% boiling.
Haven't found a way to switch units on my dashboard, but i'm sure there is a hack. I feel so different doing this where I'm from, only thing is if someone says on TV it's "30 degrees" id be tempted to ask the lady "What are you, high?? it's fucking winter!"
The only thing is it shows winds in km/h so like 120 kp/h would be cat 1 hurricane force and 6-10 km/h would be a gentle breeze.
And pressure is shown in KpA (thousands of pascals from what i read), I never understood inHg anyway so nothing of value lost there, I only understood millibars from... you'll guess this easy - hurricanes.
It still shows time in AM/PM, however, but I already live with both 24 hr (what they call "military" here) and 12+12 time, anyway.
I wish my country would continue the switch already.

Pointers on what? You seem to have it covered

100c is only the boiling point at sea level. Your entire post, @OP, is useless for almost everyone.
