You don't get a diurnal range of over 20°C, as achieved at Benson and
Hereford, very often in this country.

If that should get picked up on by the Telegraph, it would probably
appear as "You don't get a diurnal range of over 68°F (20°C), as
achieved at Benson and Hereford, very often in this country." (They
did something like that, not for the first time, just the other day. It
wouldn't be quite so bad if they didn't insist on putting the incorrect
Fahrenheit conversion first.)
