Degrees Celsius to Degrees Fahrenheit (°C to °F) Converter
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, use °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. For example, 20 °C = 68 °F. Also searched as centigrade to Fahrenheit.
Quick facts
- Formula: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32
- Water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F (at sea level).
- Normal body temperature is about 98.6 °F.
- −40 is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
How to convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit
Temperature scales have different zero points, so you cannot just multiply: you need the offset as well as the multiplier.
