plus [plʌs] – плюс minus [‘mainəs] – минус above [ə’bʌv] – выше below [bi’lou] – ниже degree [di’gri: ] – градус zero [‘ziərou] – ноль Мы можем сказать так: The temperature is minus ten degrees. Температура минус десять градусов. Или так: The temperature is ten degrees below zero. Температура десять градусов ниже нуля. Первый вариант более характерен для американского английского, второй – для британского. Еще стоит помнить, что в США и Канаде применяется шкала Фаренгейта. Поэтому, разговаривая с американцем, стоит уточнить, какую шкалу вы имеете в виду: The temperature is plus fifteen degrees Celsius. Температура плюс пятнадцать градусов по Цельсию. Если вы не знаете точную температуру воздуха, можно сказать так: Today is about ten degrees. Сегодня около дести градусов тепла.

Well, for those of you who went out today, I don't have to tell you it was clear, but muggy for most of the state, with the high temperatures in the low to mid 90 s. The city of Elkview had the high for the day of 97 degrees. And that's hot. I'm glad I'm working indoors today! For those of you planning outdoor activities tomorrow, you can expect fair skies for most of Saturday with temperatures in the high 90's. However, things might change by Saturday evening with a storm front moving in. We can expect light scattered showers over the northern part of the state bringing slightly cooler temperatures in the eighties, but this rain should taper off by mid Sunday morning. It will be partly cloudy for most of the morning, but these clouds should move out by mid-afternoon. Skies should be clear Sunday night for those wanting to catch a glimpse of the partial lunar eclipse. It should start at 10: 47 pm. And that's all for today's weather.
