Further details edit

Note that "degree day" isn't itself a unit, but rather a class of unit. Unfortunately, it seems that Wikidata currently doesn't have a constraint that limits to a certain class of units, so it is necessary to update the units constraint every time there's a new reckoning of degree days. Since Wikidata also doesn't yet support affine conversions, it's up to the end user to do any necessary conversions between units.
