Usage notes
攝氏 may be placed before or after the number of degrees in Chinese. Placing it before the number of degrees (as in the example above) gives the sentence a literary and poetic feel; however, this usage is sometimes frowned upon by language authorities, for example in the Modern Standard Chinese Dictionary (現代漢語規範詞典).
