Fahrenheit to Celsius (°F to °C)
Convert °F to °C — Temperature converter
Also written as F to C.
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9.
Fahrenheit (°F) is the temperature scale used mainly in the US; Celsius (°C) is the metric standard. To convert, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9.
Useful anchors: 32 °F = 0 °C (freezing), 212 °F = 100 °C (boiling), and 98.6 °F = 37 °C (body temperature). A common baking temperature, 350 °F, is about 176.7 °C.
