Temperature Conversions
Temperature conversion is needed when reading weather forecasts, cooking, or working in science. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit to understand US weather reports, or switch between Kelvin and Celsius for chemistry and physics calculations. Select a converter below.
Temperature conversions explained
Temperature conversions are different because they aren’t just multiplying — they also use an offset.
A quick reference: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, and °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.
Quick tips
- Don’t treat temperature like length/weight — it needs the offset (+32 / −32).
- Freezing point: 0°C = 32°F. Boiling point: 100°C = 212°F.
- For weather, 1 decimal place is usually enough.
