In the UK the press like to sensationalise the weather by reporting hot conditions in Fahrenheit and cold ones in Celsius.
The truth is the UK is temperate, and the weather is not so newsworthy. I can remember it being -12 one extreme winter, and it can touch 90 on exceptional summer days.
What has been newsworthy this year has been the extreme long period of sunny hot weather. But since our press are infested with climate-change deniers that has less sensationalist coverage.
