Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion

A daily weather and cooking search — the formula people re-type every winter. This page has 100 important questions and answers. Original explainer for daily search — not a government login or live tracker.

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit: multiply by 9/5 (or 1.8), then add 32. So F = C × 1.8 + 32. The other way: C = (F − 32) × 5/9. Water freezes at 0°C / 32°F and boils at 100°C / 212°F at standard pressure.

Body-temperature talk: 37°C is about 98.6°F (an old average, not a law). A kitchen oven at 180°C is 356°F. Weather apps in the US default to °F; most of the world uses °C.

Do not mix the formulas. Adding 32 first and then multiplying gives a wrong cooking temperature — a common phone-calculator mistake.
