Thank you, David. I tried something like that missed the correct quoting.

David,
Absolutely nothing. When there's no specific degree value in the label
because the axis represents a range of values there's no digit preceeding
the ^ symbol.
The axis label is 'Temperature (oC)' with the degree symbol preceeding a
character, not following a specific digit.

The following makes degree signs appropriately, as shown in ?plotmath:
plot(68, 20, xlab=expression(degree*F), ylab=expression(degree*C))
If you want the word "degree" spelled out, put it in quotes.

the use of the LaTeX ^ for a superscript
had a character or number preceeding it. Using 'degree' prints that
string
on the axis.
What does work is using the unicode for the degree symbol as prefix to
either C or F. In my case:
ylab('Water Temperature (\u00B0C)')
does the job.
I found this solution with the DDG search string, 'degree symbol in R

Re: [R] Degree symbol as axis label superscript [RESOLVED]
I think you have to not put the word degree in quotes, something like:
graphics::plot(
x = 1,
xlab = quote(
32 * degree
)
)
works for me, though yours seems like a good solution too
