    I feel like that would have come up at some point during my two years of thermodynamics classes where we were constantly using ∆T. just did a search for “C°” in quotes, and for delta T; first one returned nothing, second showed a bunch of sources where the units of ∆T were °C. any idea where you might have heard this?

      I’m old. Google tells me that “Celcius degrees” used to be used for differences or ranges, but modern standards just use “degrees celcius” for everything. My experience would come from thermodynamics classes in the 1980’s.
