Best Answer

It depends on what you're trying to say.

If you're saying a temperature or a range,

you write the degree symbol first; however,

if you're saying a difference in temperature,

you write the Celsius first and then the degrees.

This is why-

Describing a temperature involves a state of being,

whereas a the difference in temperature is a comparison.

Consider just writing it out: degrees Celsius or Celsius degrees.

Celsius degrees sounds more like countable units because

the noun (degrees) is at the end. On the other hand,

degrees Celsius sounds more of a singular state.

A range might give you the impression of a comparison,

but it's really just two singular states.

Sorry I'm rushing through this, I have a paper to do.

The temperature today is 1 degree Celsius by mid-February temperature subside to 30 degree Celsius. Is this sentence correct?

It has two main flaws. It is missing a conjunction (or less accurately a semi-colon), and the word "subside" means to "sink" or go lower, which would not be the case if the temperature was going "up" from 1 degree C to 30 degrees C (missing an S)."The temperature today is 1 degree Celsius, but by mid-February may rise to 30 degrees Celsius."
