How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Multiply by 9/5, then add 32.
The formula °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 converts Celsius to Fahrenheit. Water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F).
When You Need This Conversion
Essential for communicating weather forecasts or temperatures to US contacts who use Fahrenheit, setting a US-sold oven or slow cooker to the correct temperature from a metric recipe, or understanding US news when a heat wave or cold snap is reported in Fahrenheit.
Quick Conversion Tip
Double the Celsius value and add 30 for a quick estimate. For 20°C: 20 × 2 + 30 = 70°F (actual: 68°F). Works well for typical weather temperatures.
Common Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversions
