Explanation:
Como en español no usamos las estructuras "upper" y "lower", cuando me ha tocado traducir oraciones semejantes, siempre aproximo las temperaturas a las decenas previas o posteriores. Por ejemplo, "para mañana se pronostican temperaturas cercanas a los 30 grados" (o sea, 27, 28 ó 29 grados).

entre 47 y 53 grados


Explanation:
'upper' refers only to "40s"; above 49, it's the 'lower 50s"

Anything from 44 to 46 is 'mid 40s'.

Since there is no indication is the ST (as quoted) of the temperature scale, there's no reason to convert the numbers to any other scale.

BTW (and somewhat OT): the ST should not have apostrophes in 40*s, 50*s

cerca de (9.5, 15 grados centigrados)


Explanation:
My suggestion.

Because:
mid 40s = 45 +/1 1 degrees Fahrenheit, upper 40s = 47-49 degrees F.

So: 49 degF = 9.44 degC ; 59degF = 15 degC

Hope it helps Good luck!
