I think he doesn't mean degree. Maybe some of these funny American systems like 80% bigger balls because of heat.

Fahrenheit, as opposed to Celsius. Pretty mild day, 26 C for those across the pond.

for those across the pond.

I mean, it's fine if you're used to imperial units. But if you post something on the internet, either you have to convert it once to standard units, or every non-american reading it has to. So please, do you.
