To find the change in temperature, we subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature.

Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature

Therefore, the change in temperature is (-1.6) - (-5.8) = 4.2 degrees Celsius.

The answer means that the temperature increased by 4.2 degrees Celsius during the three hours between 9 a.m. and noon.
