What It Means When Your Weather App Shows The Temperature As Minus 0 Degrees

The reason for this is because of automation. In the field of meteorology we measure air temperature in tenths of a degree and then round to the nearest whole number. If the weather station is measuring an air temperature between -0.4 and -0.1 then the software on your particular weather app may report the rounded temperature, which is 0 degrees, but it may leave the negative sign.

In real life we would just call it 0 degrees without a minus or plus sign. However, the world of automation these days can make some funny things happen, such as weather stations reporting a -0 degree temperature.
