I cheat. My Hakko soldering station is calibrated in both C and F

Another trick, you can do C->F in your head:
Double the centigrade temperature, subtract 10% from the product, and add 32
to get Fahrenheit.
10 degrees C = (2*10-2) + 32 = 50 degrees F
F->C is not so slick, but works:
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, add 11% of the result to itself
and divide by 2
50 degrees F =((50-32) + 1.98)/2 = 10 degrees C.
