Personally I'm hurting a bit due to the open-coded "* 1000" transition
in all places.

I'd add a helper macro
#define TEMP_DEGREE_TO_SYS(x) ((x) * 1000)
and use that in all places where it matters.

Advantage:
- either no mistyping (10000 instead of 1000) _or_ bug occurring in _all_
  places where this macro is used
- easily grepped-for
- easily changed once the system granularity gets updated
