About converting Fahrenheit to Celsius

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius is a common temperature conversion. One fahrenheit (°F) equals -17.2222 celsius (°C). Fahrenheit is used for everyday temperatures in the United States and a few Caribbean nations.

This conversion is commonly needed for weather and travel planning, cooking and baking, scientific experiments. Celsius is used in most countries worldwide and in all scientific applications.

To put fahrenheit in perspective: water freezes (32 °F). In celsius, common references include water freezes (0 °C).

Did you know?

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit chose 96° as normal body temperature (later corrected to 98.6°F) and 0° as the temperature of a specific brine solution.

Real-world examples
Fahrenheit (°F)
  • water freezes (32 °F)
  • a pleasant spring day (72 °F)
