How do you suppose that?  Last I checked 89.6F goes in the books as 90F?

It’s a conversion deal. ASOS only reports in whole deg F, but in the body of the reports it gets rounded to whole deg C. So when you see 89.6F in a non hourly METAR (Hourlies give you the T group in the remarks), what you’re seeing is just 32C. That could be one of two temps...either 89F (31.7C) or 90F (32.2C). In the hourly METAR, the T group will tell you exactly which one of the 32C’s that it is (T0317 or T0322). 

It’s really dumb. All of the SPECIs and intermediate 5 min obs should have the T group.
