Sky News are currently giving weather forecasts for individual cities on their morning show in the form of icons in the corner of the screen.
On seeing two temperatures for each city, you might expect that they are minimum and maximum temperatures, as is conventional for city forecasts. But these temperatures are more reminiscent of those found in the Middle East.
Even after using the international standard Celsius system for 40 years, it seems that we are expected to realise that the pairs of figures shown are actually both maximum temperatures, but using two different systems.
When will the media make it easier for us all, and stick to one standard temperature scale?
