About the Temperature converter
Temperature is measured on three main scales: Celsius (used worldwide), Fahrenheit (used in the United States), and Kelvin (used in science). Unlike most conversions, temperature uses an offset as well as a multiplier.
Fahrenheit to Celsius: subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. Celsius to Kelvin: add 273.15. The scales intersect at -40°, where -40°C equals -40°F.
Common use cases
- Weather forecasts between Celsius and Fahrenheit
- Oven temperatures for international recipes
- Scientific calculations requiring Kelvin
- Body temperature interpretation (37°C = 98.6°F)
Frequently asked questions
Double the Celsius value and add 30 for a close estimate. The exact formula is °F = °C × 9/5 + 32.
