P.S. to offshore readers: I was too lazy to convert all temperatures to
centigrade.

I guess you mean Celsius?

In English, "centigrade" is the same as "degrees Celsius".


Tehcnically, it's Celsius for all languages, including English. Centigrade
is a commonly used word, but not the correct term for the degree units or
scale.

.... any more.
