How it's entered into the database, and how it's displayed, are two separate things. Humans are messy. Unless the API starts validating entries, entries will vary in format, even if we officially say that "46 C" is the official format. But software can parse and normalize numbers.
That said: temperature=___ is a problematic tag regardless of the formatting of the data.
