°F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Reverse: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15.

Our Temperature Converter handles all three scales in one go.

Quick reference

  • 0°C = 32°F (water freezes)
  • 100°C = 212°F (water boils at sea level)
  • 37°C ≈ 98.6°F (body temp)
  • −40°C = −40°F (the only matching point)
