I live in the United States and although I grew up here using Fahrenheit, I switched to Celsius almost 10 years ago. Part of my reason for switching was the rest of the world was using Celsius and every time they would mention the temperature, I had no clue if that was very hot, or just right and kept having to convert, so since there were not that many countries that used Fahrenheit, I switched. I still know what the comfortable range is in Fahrenheit, but now I also know in Celsius as I use it every day. Also, I no longer appear to be an old curmudgeon that is resistant to using a system the rest of the world already uses.
Before I joined the U.S. Navy (decades ago) I started wearing a watch displaying the time in a 24-hour format to get me used to that. I have found I prefer the 24-hour clock and personally continue to use it.
I rarely watch or listen to weather forecasts on TV and radio, favoring getting my weather from websites or apps which allow me to specify Celsius as the reported temperature. As for those times that I do catch TV/Radio weather forecasts, since I grew up with Fahrenheit I just automatically interpret anything 80+ as HOT, and anything below the mid-60s as cold, and so on.
