Of course you are correct in your ‘American Way’, but you must realise the UK is totally confused when it comes to temperature scales.

Not only that area, though.
We mix Imperial and Metric quite openly.

I worked in science where everything was metric, but still measure mainly in inches for domestic tasks such as garden furniture construction.
Our fruit and vegetables are sold in Pounds and paid for in decimalised currency.

My LPs are still referred to as being 12 inches in dia.
You ask for a pint of beer, not 568 millilitres.

So, I will enjoy the sun however its temperature is measured...
