Temperature according to cubers

Last night it dropped down to less than the what the 3x3 world record record was on the day the USS George Washington suffered a serious fire off the Pacific Coast of South America.

Can you figure out how cold it was (in Fahrenheit)?

The USS George Washington suffered a serious fire on May 22, 2008.
The world record in 2008 switched hands multiple times. Yu Nakajima's 8.72 3x3 solve was the WR, set in early May. Erik Akkersdijk's WR solve was in July.
<8.72 degrees Fahrenheit
<~-12.93 degrees Celsius

Well done! I wasn't there for the world record, but I was onboard the G.W. for the fire. It was a nightmare but it brought us together as a crew.
 
*looked into my clock* Uhh it's spring of the screw right now, it's 23.5 ℃. Which is slower than my 3X3 pb. It's as dark as carbon fiber at night right now. By the way, should I use ℃ or℉? I can't come up with an answer. Maybe I'll just use ℃℉op.
 
It's usually colder than my PB here, but I'm cheating in that case. Europe here, we use the good system aka Celsius :D we often have sub zero temps, hard to beat that

But right now I'm winning with the weather - 27C outside, PB is 18.71!
