Here in the Swansea area of South Wales the temp went down to 28f
overnight.
Yesterday it was bright and sunny and got up to 38f, leting me lift
some of the tree dahlias, but there are still around 50 left in the
ground, and the frost is getting further into the ground, I don't know
how many I will be able to save.

How do you cope with the TV weather forecasts that give temperatures
in Celsius?

As a rule of thumb.
Double it and add 27.
ie: 18 degrees c doubled is 36, add 27 =63degrees f

I hope this helps you as it did me some 30 years ago.
