This means that your iPhone will display temperature in degree Fahrenheit for US locations and in degree Celsius if the location is set to United Kingdom and other countries.
However, if you frequently travel between America and Europe you can easily switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, irrespective of the Language and Region settings on your device.
