Degrees Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit Converter

Multiply by 1.8 (9/5), then add 32.

20 °C = 68 °F

Formula

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

°F = °C × 1.8 + 32

Worked example

Convert 25 degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit

  1. Use °F = °C × 9/5 + 32
  2. Substitute 25 °C: 77 °F

25 °C = 77 °F

Good to know

Handy anchors: 0 °C = 32 °F (freezing), 20 °C = 68 °F (room temperature), 37 °C = 98.6 °F (typical body temperature), 100 °C = 212 °F (boiling at sea level), 180 °C = 356 °F (a moderate oven). A rough mental method is “double it and add 30”, which is close for everyday weather.

Note that −40 is the same in both scales.

About these units

Degree Celsius (°C)
Water freezes at 0 °C and boils at about 100 °C at sea-level pressure. A change of 1 °C equals a change of 1 K.
Degree Fahrenheit (°F)
Water freezes at 32 °F and boils at about 212 °F. A change of 1 °F is 5/9 of a change of 1 °C.
