Celsius to Fahrenheit (°C to °F)

Convert °C to °FTemperature converter

Also written as C to F.

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32.

Celsius (°C) is the metric temperature scale used by most of the world; Fahrenheit (°F) is used mainly in the United States. To convert, multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 (1.8) and add 32.

A few anchors make this easy to sanity-check: water freezes at 0 °C = 32 °F and boils at 100 °C = 212 °F. Normal body temperature is 37 °C = 98.6 °F. The two scales read the same at −40°, where −40 °C = −40 °F.
