1 degree C = 1.8 F...that’s the approximate ratio of miles to kilometres.....is there a correlation escaping my pea brain ? Degrees celsius are larger than our degrees whereas Kilos are smaller than miles, but the ratio interests me.

No relation to kilo/mile. Celsius divided the range from freezing to boiling water into 100 units. Fahrenheit divided it into 180 units. That’s why there’s 180/100 = 9/5 F degrees per C degree.
