To determine whether the temperature was positive or negative at 3 pm, we would need more information. The sentence you provided states that the temperature increased by another 5 degrees, but it does not mention the starting temperature.
If the starting temperature were already positive, then an increase of 5 degrees would still result in a positive temperature at 3 pm.
If the starting temperature were already negative, an increase of 5 degrees would lead to a negative temperature, assuming no other factors influenced the temperature.
In summary, without the starting temperature or any additional information, we cannot definitively determine whether the temperature at 3 pm was positive or negative.
