===United Kingdom=== Most British people use Celsius.<ref>{{cite web |date=2013-07-24 |title=The media like Fahrenheit but most Brits think in Celsius |url=https://www.opinium.com/the-media-like-fahrenheit-but-most-brits-think-in-celsius/ |access-date=2021-06-21 |website=Opinium |language=en-GB}}</ref> However, the use of Fahrenheit still may appear at times alongside degrees Celsius in the print media with no standard convention for when the measurement is included. For example, ''[[The Times]]'' has an all-metric daily weather page but includes a Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion table.<ref>{{cite news |newspaper = The Times |date = 3 July 2013 |page = 55 |title = Weather}}</ref> Some UK tabloids have adopted a tendency of using Fahrenheit for mid to high temperatures.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/dec/29/newspapers-run-hot-and-cold-over-celsius-and-fahrenheit |title=Newspapers run hot and cold over Celsius and Fahrenheit |date=29 May 2014 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |author=Roy Greenslade}}</ref> It has been suggested that the rationale to keep using Fahrenheit was one of emphasis for high temperatures: "−6 °C" sounds colder than "21 °F", and "94 °F" sounds more sensational than "34 °C".<ref name="T20060223">{{cite news |title=Measure for measure |date=23 February 2006 |work=The Times }}</ref>
