Celsius to Fahrenheit Converter

Convert the other wayF to C

Enter a temperature in Celsius to see Fahrenheit. Water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F) at standard pressure.

How it works

Fahrenheit and Celsius are linear scales with different zero points and degree sizes. A Celsius degree is 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees, and Fahrenheit’s zero is 32 degrees below the freezing point of water. That is why the conversion both scales by 9/5 and then shifts by 32. The two scales meet at −40.

Formula

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

Worked examples

0 °C → 32 °F
100 °C → 212 °F

Useful notes

This is a temperature conversion, not a weather forecast. Wind chill and heat index are different calculations.
Body temperature near 37°C is about 98.6°F.

FAQ

What is 0°C in Fahrenheit?: 32°F — the freezing point of water on both common weather scales.
What is 100°C in Fahrenheit?: 212°F, the boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
Is there a temperature that is the same in C and F?: Yes. −40°C is −40°F.
