Off topic, what's up with Celsius? It's got half the resolution of Fahrenheit. When measuring environmental temperatures, nothing beats °F. It's based on the coldest days (0°) and the hottest (100°), not some arbitrary water phase thing.

Over here that would be a range of 25-77F or so... back home it would be a range of 40-100F. Everywhere in the world water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C (unless you add salt)

You're right though '100 in the shade' definitely sounds better than '37 and three quarters in the shade'
