I feel like you're making this up. No one here uses Fahrenheit.

This summer, DailyMail, one of the biggest newspapers:

> Title: Britain goes into meltdown over 106F hottest day EVER that is set to hit on Monday and Tuesday

> Subtitle: Parts of London set to hit 41C (106F) next Monday and Tuesday - smashing all-time UK record of 38.7C (101.6F)

> Summer is officially here! North East braces for sweltering 96F heatwave after Memorial Day as revelers flock to the beaches and parks to cool down

The Daily Mail online has been branching out into the US for a while, hence covering things in language catering for an American audience.

Temperature measurement in the UK is measured in Celcius, Fahrenheit is not a thing here.

Except that I was reading these news articles about London on the DailyMail front-page while accessing it from London.
