This page opens the temperature converter preset to Celsius → Fahrenheit. The exact formula is °F = °C × 9/5 + 32: multiply the Celsius value by 1.8, then add 32. Unlike length or weight, temperature scales have shifted zero points, so there is no single multiplication factor.
Anchors worth memorizing: 0 °C = 32 °F (water freezes), 20 °C = 68 °F (room temperature), 37 °C = 98.6 °F (normal body temperature), 100 °C = 212 °F (water boils at sea level). The two scales cross at −40°, where −40 °C = −40 °F exactly.
You will use this direction for US weather forecasts, oven settings in American recipes, thermostats and medical thermometers. Type a Celsius value and Fahrenheit appears instantly; the table below lists everyday temperatures from a −40° cold snap to boiling water.
