Nice, you could boil a cup of water for your tea just by putting it outside.

Not even half way to boiling really. Although it refers to Europe, it is using farenheit as its scale, as it is a US based publication. Although for that reason temperature measurements should always include the type for reference.

"Halfway" from where?

Freezing (0C). Halfway through the liquid phase of water. Seems like an at-least-somewhat reasonable starting point.

Halfway from 0°C, the freezing point of water.
