Celsius = 5/9 (F - 32)

Fahrenheit = (9/5 C) + 32

C F How does it feel?
0° 32°

5° 41°
10° 50°

chilly

15° 59°
20° 68° cool
25° 77° warm
30° 86° hot
35° 95° tropical
40° 104° melting point

(2C° - 0.1(2C°)) + 32

Double C and add 32 becomes less accurate as the temperatures rise. It is exactly right at 0 C, off by 8 at 40 C, and off by 20 at 100 C.

The doubling is off by 10%. 2 is 10/5, but the correct formula is 9/5, so the right factor is nine/tenths below the fudge factor.
Double C, subtract roughly 10% of that product from itself, then add 32 improves the result.
C F 2*C + 32
