Hot Summer Threatens Efficacy of Mail-Order Medications
"Twice" a temperature, whether in Celsius or Fahrenheit, is a meaningless measure.
Physics-wise, unless it's Kelvin, yes.
In terms of perception; it's pretty clear that they're talking about having a degree measurement that's twice the numeric value of one in Fahrenheit.
But that doesn't tell anyone anything about how far above the threshold we're talking about. Could be 2 degrees instead of 1. That's not much. or it could be 60 degrees instead of 30. That seems important.
60 vs 120
50 vs 100
or 1 vs 2
The article is more clear than the headline.
