The Guardian, a favorite news source for many, is not exempt from making errors. One recent headline about temperatures caught my attention. The article mentioned that parts of Malawi experienced a maximum temperature of 43C (109F), which is 18C above the average of 25C (77F). However, the headline claimed a temperature increase of 68F above average, which is clearly incorrect. The problem lies in the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit. While multiplying by 1.8 is necessary for converting a temperature, when dealing with temperature differences, the conversion is a simple multiplication by 1.8. The addition of 32F is erroneous in this context. So, the headline was technically correct in its translation of 20C to 68F, but the context was not taken into account.
