Hmm, Sunday has a minimum temperature of 7 degrees and a maximum of 6, I think someone needs to reboot the universe...

A 1 degree change in Kelvin is a 1 degree chance in Celsius, but as others have mentioned, Kelvin is 273.12 degrees different to Celsius. Absolute Zero is defined as -273.12 Degrees IIRC, or 0 Kelvin (or I've got the wrong way round, I last did physics over ten years ago!).
