Did the gnomes at Go Comics translate the Bermuda temp from Centigrade
but leave the UK temp alone?

Obviously 78 cannot be Centigrade and 11 is implausible Fahrenheit...

British Imperial units (including degrees Fahrenheit) are in general use
in Bermuda, whereas England began metrification in the 1960s and now
generally uses degrees Celsius. While it seems idiosyncratic for a
newspaper to report world temperatures in the units used in each country
- as opposed to translating as necessary to report all of them on the
same scale - I suppose the English press might do this.
