Rereading this week's Sunday Telegraph I came across this fascinating
snippet:

Warmest place in Europe: Mallnitz Austria 28.9C (84F) Dec 11th.

Surely a typo? Googling it reveals it's a high Alpine valley ski resort
(1191m.) Isn't it impossible for a Foehn to bring such a high temp. so
late in the year-or at any other time of year for that matter? Thoughts
please.


Possibly 29F incorrectly taken as C, converted to F (84.2), rounded down
(84) and converted back to C to 1 decimal place (28.9).

Or maybe nobody is that silly?
