About this conversion

Fahrenheit to Celsius is essential when reading US weather forecasts, cooking temperatures in American recipes, or understanding body temperature readings on US medical equipment. The Fahrenheit scale — used only in the United States and a few territories — sets water's freezing point at 32°F and boiling at 212°F. Key reference points in Fahrenheit: 32°F = 0°C (freezing), 68°F = 20°C (room temperature), 98.6°F = 37°C (body temperature), 212°F = 100°C (boiling). US recipes almost always give oven temperatures in Fahrenheit: 350°F is the standard moderate baking temperature (177°C). A fever in Fahrenheit is above 100.4°F (38°C). The quick mental conversion: subtract 30, then halve — this gives an approximate Celsius reading.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?+
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Formula: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 68°F: (68 − 32) × 5/9 = 20°C.
What is 72°F in Celsius?+
72°F equals approximately 22.2°C — a comfortable room temperature.
What is 98.6°F in Celsius?+
98.6°F equals exactly 37°C — normal human body temperature.
What is 350°F in Celsius?+
350°F equals approximately 176.7°C — a standard moderate oven temperature for baking cakes and cookies.
What is 32°F in Celsius?+
32°F equals 0°C — the freezing point of water.
What are common oven temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius?+
325°F = 163°C (slow), 350°F = 177°C (moderate), 375°F = 190°C (moderately hot), 400°F = 204°C (hot), 425°F = 218°C, 450°F = 232°C (very hot).
