Shouldn't there be "degrees" or a ° sign?

When 'C' is specified, I don't think stating 'degrees' is necessary. At least, I've heard and read it this way fairly often.

I agree with @sabretou. It's optional. Some style guides prefer it written without a degree symbol:

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind in future.

@CK Ah no, I only meant I've read it this way, haha.

I've heard it read as 'eighteen degrees celsius'.
