temperature

There are several ways to do this sign:

Temperature (version 1) 
Slide the right index finger up and down the side of the left index finger. The right hand is in a palm-down "index finger" handshape


Side view:  Notice the right finger is between the body and the left finger.


Temperature version 2:
The right hand uses a "flat hand" shape.


Temperature (version 3)
I don't recommend this version because it looks so much like a "double movement" of one of the versions of the sign for "tall."

But I include it here so you will recognize it if you see it.

The right index finger slides up and down the palm of left hand. Repeat.

 


"set temperature"
This version could be used to indcate the setting of a thermostat.

"Turn the thermostat up."


Turn the temperature down:
