I will attach google sheet that I used to find regression equation.
We can see that linear fit does work, but the polynomial fit is much better.
We can see that R squared for polynomial fit is higher than R squared for the linear fit. This tells us that polynomials fit approximates our dataset better.
This is the polynomial fit equation:
I used h to denote hours. Our prediction of temperature for the sixth hour would be:

I am not sure I am right but I think it depends on the size of the X.
