You can use "ish". "What is the temperature?" "It's ten ish" Though this is better used for time, it is applicable in other situations. "What time will you be home?" "Ten ish". This is from a "British" English perspective.

You can say "it's in the teens" for 12-19 degrees otherwise, use what you said -- 'around 10'
