Hi

The word below can be used when talking about temperatures and other things that are measured to say that something that is under or less than a certain point.

For example, you can also say:

It is below freezing today. (i.e. The temperature is less than 32 degrees F.)
His work is below average. (i.e. The quality of his work is less than average.)
