The temperature changes as follows:
Day 1: 83 + 5 = 88 (temperature increases by 5)
Day 2: 88 + 8 = 96 (temperature increases by 8)
Day 3: 96 - 2 = 94 (temperature decreases by 2)
Day 4: 94 - 4 = 90 (temperature decreases by 4)
Day 5: 90 + 1 = 91 (temperature increases by 1)
Therefore, the temperature on the last day was 91 degrees.
