It’s taught but not really for weather. So while I know the boiling and freezing points of various substances in Celsius, I don’t have instant recognition when I hear a Celsius temperature, I have to convert it in my head.
No need to convert? What do you mean? Are you saying if I just intrinsically knew Celsius for weather I wouldn’t have to convert Celsius? Because that’s obviously true, but I’m just explaining I don’t intrinsically know Celsius in that way.
Also, even if I did get to know Celsius really well, I would still have to convert it every time someone uses Fahrenheit, which is pretty much all the time in the US.
Lastly, what do you mean, 0 C is “dangerously cold”? Where I live the temperature stays below 0 C for long periods of time, never going above it.
If you know those two numbers, 0 and 40, you can get a general idea of what the temperature is in Celsius without doing any math. If you hear 20, you know that’s a moderate temperature because it’s right in between. If you hear 30, you know that’s fairly warm. Below 0 or above 40 are extreme cold and extreme heat, respectively.

No need to convert. 0 to 40 is the part of the scale for weather, where 0 is dangerously cold and 40 is dangerously hot.
40 ain’t dangerously hot. Temperature reaches 50°C in some parts of the world.
It can reach almost 50C right here in the US, even.
56.7° C is the hottest temperature ever recorded. It was in the US.
