People living in the UK already know the north is chilly, no need to quantify it.
I have the impression that the overwhelming majority of HN is from the US, and "chilly" can mean different things depending where you're from.
As an American on holiday in the UK, I appreciate the Fahrenheit.
My impression of the readership is that it depends on the time of day. When I was in Vietnam, I would wake up to US centric posts full of comments. When I wake up early on the East Coast of the US (~6:30 am) I see more comments from Europe/UK. By mid afternoon, most of the posters seem to be from the US or at least the Americas.
I base this on about 5 years of daily HN reading. I infer the posters’ locations from spelling, grammar, but most often their own admission. Nonetheless, this is just anecdata.
