As the 4th answer said, it's the rate of change of temperature. You can use such a measurement to tell you, for instance, the heat output of a stove burner (or at least that part of the heat output that actually goes into heating something). Put a measured quantity of water in a pan and measure the rate of heating. The heat output is the mass of water times the specific heat of water times the rate of change of the temperature.

Well, if T=20 degrees (it got 20 degrees warmer) in a period of 10 minutes, then:
T/t = 20 / 10 = 2 degrees change per minute.
That formula tells you the average rate of change of the temperature.

Time value is up to your choice.Maybe time period can be considered as second..
If you divide temperature changes to time,you get the temperature changes for each period of time..
I hope I can help you with that..
