The range is $20$ $20$

Explanation:

First of all, the range is the difference between the highest number and the lowest number in a given group of numbers. Here is our group. I got rid of °C so that it's easier to see the numbers:

$27, 12, 31, 19, 23, 11, 17$ $27, 12, 31, 19, 23, 11, 17$

Let's put them in order from lowest to highest:
$11, 12, 17, 19, 23, 27, 31$ $color(blue)11,12,17,19,23,27,color(red)31$

$11$ $color(blue)11$ is our lowest number and $31$ $color(red)31$ is our highest number.

$highest number - lowest number = range$ $"highest number" - "lowest number" = "range"$
$31 - 11 = range$ $color(red)31 - color(blue)11 = "range"$
$20 = range$ $20 = "range"$
