__________________

Usually when people try to find a warmer temperature. They look for the biggest number, one that has more value, as in this case, people would tend to say since 5 is bigger than 2, therefore it must be warmer. Wrong. What we're dealing with here is negatives, this goes backwards, the number that is smaller is warmer, following that logic. Which is a warmer temperature?

-5 or -2?

-2 degree celsius
