To find the current temperature, we need to subtract the change in temperature from the temperature yesterday.
Temperature now = Temperature yesterday - Change in temperature overnight
Temperature now = 13°C - (-18.6°C)
Remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
Temperature now = 13°C + 18.6°C
Temperature now = 31.6°C
Therefore, the temperature now is 31.6°C.
