Standard (temperature)

Standard, Galactic Standard degree or Standard Degree^[1] was a temperature scale used in the galaxy, measured in degrees.

Examples

When C-3PO and R2-D2 crash landed on Tatooine, 3PO's internal thermostat registered a temperature at 42 degrees standard.^[2]
The daytime temperature on Hoth was -32° standard.^[3]

Behind the scenes

This is likely the same as the real-world Celsius (or centigrade) scale: A temperature of 42°C (equivalent to 107.6°F) is what might be expected for a hot desert.
