Temperature is property of systems that determines whether they are in thermal equilibrium.  The concept of temperature stems from the idea of measuring relative hotness and coldness and from the observation that the addition of heat to a body leads to an increase in temperature as long as no melting or boiling occurs.   The standard atmospheric pressure, the freezing point (and melting point of ice) is 32° F, and the boiling point is 212° F.
