Americans do understand Celsius, although it is unfortunately not as commonly used for weather/room temperature as Fahrenheit

As a Canadian who spent a few years of my youth in Australia: I can definitely confirm.
I spent most of my ozzy summers in a black hoodie for some god forsaken reason, and I also wear shorts in winter occasionally....
The easy but not quite right conversion from C to F is to double it, then add 30.
F to C is subtract 30 and divide by 2.
Unpopular opinion time; the US already uses metric/Celsius where it matters; in science, engineering and the military. Where it doesn't matter, we use a weird hybrid system that makes intuitive sense to us and is accordingly perfectly functional and doesn't need to be changed.
I always wear shorts. 50f/10c isnt gonna stop me.
