I have an air band radio tuned into a local airport control tower for weather information. Several times recently the temperature has been given as 'minus zero'.
As temperatures are always given in whole numbers (no half degrees) I would have thought the first temperature figure below zero would be 'minus 1'.
Can any mathematician/pilot/meteorologist explain minus zero in this context?
