70 and up

The temperature had risen from -2 degrees Fahrenheit in the morning to a warmer temperature by noon. The exact number of degrees it had risen would depend on the new temperature at noon.
Former and latter are words used to express a time or preference in a sentence. For example, "I can go to the store at noon or midnight, but I prefer the former." In this sentence the word 'former' is associated with 'noon' and the word 'latter' is associated with the word 'midnight.'
Noon is when the sun is overhead or at its zenith for whichever part of the world you are on. The angle would depend on the time of year and your latitude.
At noon the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. It can get warmer as the day goes on.
At the equinox, the Sun will be directly above the equator, 0 degrees latitude.
The temperature increased by 28 degrees from 5 AM to noon (15 degrees below zero to 13 degrees). This change occurred over 7 hours (5 AM to noon). Therefore, the average hourly increase in temperature was 28 degrees / 7 hours = 4 degrees per hour.
70 degrees... wow!
For an observer at latitude 35 degrees, the highest the sun can ever be in his sky is roughly 31.5 degrees above the horizon.
70W is 180 degrees away from 110E, so if it's noon at 70W, it's midnight at 110E.
First, we need the "transit altitude" of the celestial equator, at 80 degrees north. That's 90 - 80 degrees = 10 degrees. At noon (local apparent noon) the Sun's altitude will be: 10 degrees + the Sun's declination. That's the altitude of the Sun's "upper culmination". At "midnight" (the Sun's "lower culmination") the Sun's altitude will be: the Sun's declination - 10 degrees. So, the difference in altitude is 20 degrees. The Sun is 20 degrees higher at noon.

It is 58.4 degrees.
