To find the difference between the high and low temperatures, we subtract the low temperature from the high temperature.
The high temperature is 18°, and the low temperature is -5°.
The formula for difference is:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{High} - \text{Low}
\]
Substituting the values we have:
\[
\text{Difference} = 18 - (-5)
\]
Subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding:
\[
\text{Difference} = 18 + 5 = 23
\]
Thus, the difference between the high and low temperatures is 23°.
