Amazing, AP hates decimals as well as metric. The figures 33.8 °F, 35.6 °F, 37.4 °F, 39.2 °F, would be more accurate than the fractions given, a simpler representation, save space in the newspaper, and be more familiar to Americans via fever thermometers, where body temperature is normally given in tenths.

I've certainly never seen someone use calibrations of degrees for temperatures in halves and fourths. Norman Werling
