Hendrik Bergunde: Introduce the -s parameter, that takes an offset as mandatory argument that gets substracted from (all) displayed temperatures. This can become handy, since the measured temperature sometimes looks significantly too high. The argument is considered to be given in degree Celsius (°C) and supports integer and float values. Practically, I can recommend an offset of about -s7.5. The Fahrenheit values automatically take advantage of the offset as well.
