It's a whole lot easier than that. Just estimate. After all, unless you are talking about someone's illness and fever, or baking a quiche, being off by a degree or three doesn't amount to anything.
I know that if it's 35°C I'll wear a T-shirt. If it's 35°F I'll wear a sweater. Don't need much more accuracy than that. And at our ages, we can certainly estimate the temperature without a thermometer, right?
