European here! For me it's...
Celcius:
0 = Water freezes
100 = Water boils
Fahrenheit as far as I can tell:
~100 = Hot enough that it shows up on the news
~400-450 = Cooking, because our stove is in Fahrenheit for some unknown reason.
All other temperatures in F = no idea.
You can think of F as a “% hot” measurement for weather.
0 = no heat: getting dangerously cold for humans. 50 = half hot, half cold: wear long pants and a jacket. 75 = three quarters hot, getting close to t shirt weather. 100= fully hot: getting dangerous for humans.
Yes you can go over or under, but you can consider those to be extreme weather (120% hot!)
C is a measurement for water.
Fahrenheit is designed for humans. Celsius is in love with distilled water at sea level. Kelvin and Rankine are actually useful in math, science, and engineering.
