  3. Use the tableThe reference table below lists common values.

The formula

Water freezes at 0 °C, which is 32 °F, and boils at 100 °C, which is 212 °F. The 100 degree span in Celsius equals 180 degrees in Fahrenheit, so each Celsius degree is 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees: °F = °C × 1.8 + 32. A pleasant day of 20 °C is 68 °F, normal body temperature of 37 °C is 98.6 °F, and a hot oven at 200 °C is 392 °F.

The two scales meet at minus 40, where -40 °C equals -40 °F. The reference table below the converter covers weather, fever and kitchen temperatures.

Quick estimate

For weather, double the Celsius value and add 30: 15 °C gives about 60 °F, close to the exact 59 °F. For cooking, use the exact value, since oven settings matter.
