A measured or set temperature, such as an air, water or body temperature reading. Datasets store it as a number in degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit or kelvins, with the unit either in the value or in the column name or metadata. The regular expression recognizes only values that carry a unit symbol. Semantic MediaWiki has a Temperature datatype that accepts K, °C, °F and °R and stores values in kelvins.
