The automated airport weather stations operated by the FAA report temps to 
pilots in Celsius, which is probably why pilots sometimes announce destination 
temps in both Celsius and Fahrenheit even on domestic flights (as happened on a 
San Francisco to Burbank flight I took a couple of weeks ago).  I wanted to 
write the guy a thank you letter.
