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.
