temperature drops
Getting colder outside
Temperature drops refers to decreases in temperature, whether meteorological, medical, or mechanical.
Weather forecasters warn of temperature drops overnight.
The phrase often appears with verbs describing suddenness or severity: The temperature drops sharply after sunset.
In scientific contexts, temperature drops may be measured precisely; in casual speech, it simply means things got colder.
