How it's calculated
The Fahrenheit scale multiplies Celsius degrees by 9/5 and adds 32. For the reverse conversion, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
Fahrenheit is the everyday scale in the US for weather forecasts, oven temperatures in American recipes, or human body temperature.
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
When cooking from a Fahrenheit recipe, a 350°F oven equals 177°C, and 400°F equals 204°C; rounding to the nearest standard oven setting (180°C or 200°C) usually works fine in practice.
Worked example
36.6°C equals 36.6 × 9/5 + 32 ≈ 97.88°F. A 90°F day in a US weather forecast equals (90 − 32) × 5/9 ≈ 32.2°C.
Frequently asked questions
- What is 0°C in Fahrenheit?
- 0°C equals 32°F, water's freezing point.
- What is 100°C in Fahrenheit?
- 100°C equals 212°F, water's boiling point at sea level.
- Is any temperature the same on both scales?
- Yes, -40°C is exactly equal to -40°F.
- What is normal body temperature in Fahrenheit?
- 37°C equals about 98.6°F, the standard average body temperature.
- How do I convert an American oven temperature?
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9; for example 350°F equals (350−32) × 5/9 = 177°C.
