About Fahrenheit and Celsius
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. Doing the subtraction first matters: 50 °F is (50 − 32) × 5/9 = 10 °C.
The US uses Fahrenheit for weather, cooking and body temperature, so recipes and forecasts from the US often need converting.
Examples
- 350 °F (the most common oven setting in US recipes) is 176.67 °C
- 98.6 °F (normal body temperature) is 37 °C
- 72 °F (a typical thermostat setting) is 22.22 °C
- 32 °F (the freezing point of water) is 0 °C
