BBC1 London Weather Reporter?

[minder]

Just watched the London Weather reporter on BBC news (while looking on here too) and I'm sure she said something like "temperatures will be in the mid teens" - well that's a new phrase to me. They then went back to the main news reporter (who had a big smile on his face) and then went on to the national weather.

a quick google of the phrase: temperature mid teens

shows it to be pretty commonplace. When I read the OP I thought "I've heard that LOADS of times"

[computedshorty]

It was more acceptable when the temperature was in Fahrenheit, ? the temperature will reach the low eighties ?.

That would suit me quite well, but I am willing to share it with those who are younger.

As has often been pointed out a lot of us use F for hot "Its in the 80s!"

and C for cold "It's minus 3!"

and quite often F precedes cold, as in "It's F cold again". :(

There's a warm front rising...oooerrr missus

[El Pibe]

in short, crap, but slightly less crap than last year's crappier one.

I've found that 61 degrees Fahrenheit = 16 degrees centigrade is a useful reference point. (btw it's supposed to be 79 F =26 C by Thursday.
