In the UK we use Celsius officially and have done for many years, though
most people know both systems. But I think there are more differences
than that between British and Canadian weather. For one thing, when we
write 19°C we don't have to specify plus or minus.

It was in fact about that (plus, of course) here in SE England until a
couple of days ago, but down to more like 16-17°C today (that's the low
sixties to you who only know Fahrenheit).
