Celsius to Fahrenheit (°C to °F)

Celsius to Fahrenheit (°C to °F) with the exact formula, a ready reference table and worked examples.

Formula

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

Celsius and Fahrenheit are offset scales, so you cannot convert with a single multiplier. Both scales meet at −40°, where −40 °C = −40 °F.

FAQ

Is there a quick mental shortcut?

Doubling the Celsius figure and adding 30 gives a rough estimate. It is exact only at 10 °C (50 °F), and the error grows further from there.
