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.

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 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.
