Temperature is measured in degrees. There are three basic scales for temperature: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Body temperature is taken using one of several kinds of thermometers: oral, rectal, skin-reading (under the arm or on the forehead), or in the ear canal. You say that your temperature is (number) degrees (type of scale used), such as 99 degrees Fahrenheit.
