[R] function for filtering and deleting vector entries

Dear helpers

I have two data sets saved as vectors (temperature and velocity). Now I need
to "take out" a span of temperature and its corresponding velocity in the
other vector. How can I achieve that? 

I tried to write a function,which takes a vector entry and then decides
wether to delete the temperature entry or not and  simultaneously doing so
with same entry in the velocity vector..
But somehow it's not working...could somebody please help me? 
Thanks a lot..


norm = function(Temp,v){
	for (i in 1:length(Temp)){
		
		if (Temp[i]<=16 || Temp[i] >= 38.5)
		 {Temp[-i];v[-i]}

		return(Temp,v)
	}
}
