Is this a real temperature?

[Barncat]

I have never seen negative 0 before.

Looks like a number between -0.5 and 0 that got rounded up to 0 but retained the negative sign.

I prefer +0 personally

 

[RJSakowski]

I see negative zero on my DRO', digital calipers, and digital micrometer all the time.

The negative means "really" cold - not just cold.

 

[Larry$]

Spring has sprung! headed for a high of 17 today. That's a +17, enough of that - nonsense!

 

[Shootymacshootface]

The negative means "really" cold - not just cold.

Hey! I hope that you aren't all getting political on us.
Haha

I have a La Crosse indoor outdoor thermometer and it has shown the -OC on several occasions. So
yes it's a real number It's minus nothing.

 

[higgite]

Which begs the question, would minus infinity indicate a condition where there is infinitely less than nothing?
