You are very close! Without an argument, the text() method returns the text associated with the currently selected element(s). With an argument, it replaces the text with that argument. So

$('#temperature').text('this is an example')

will change the text to "this is an example". Simply replace string in the above code with the current temperature. You can pass a string, number, boolean or function to text().
