I wonder whether the BWMA is making inroads with British meteorologists; it is campaigning against the use of the Celsius scale in forecasts. Here is senior meteorologist Jim Dale with a long range prediction for September, expecting an Indian summer in Britain and he uses only the Fahrenheit scale: "The week ahead will be changeable. There will be a cool picture for the first couple of days of Autumn. But after that we will start to see an Indian summer which will last, at the very least, to the middle of the month and may well continue for longer. The sunshine is enough for people to get excited about. People are putting on their coats again and kids are going back to school, everyone thinks the summer is over. But what we're saying to them is that despite this run of cool weather the heat and sunshine will persist into an Indian summer. The warm weather is waiting in the Atlantic at the moment for this rough stuff to move away. When it does move it will come in from the west. Most places will enjoy copious amounts of sunshine, little if any rain and temperatures into the 70's fahrenheit zone."
