How to convert celsius to fahrenheit
Celsius and Fahrenheit are the two temperature scales most people encounter daily. Celsius (°C) is based on water's freezing point (0°C) and boiling point (100°C) at sea level. Fahrenheit (°F) sets freezing at 32°F and boiling at 212°F. Most countries use Celsius; the US primarily uses Fahrenheit.
Convert with: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Example: 20°C = (20 × 1.8) + 32 = 68°F (room temperature). 37°C body temperature = 98.6°F. Water boils at 100°C = 212°F.
Weather forecasts, oven settings, and medical thermometers require this conversion when traveling or using imported appliances. A hot summer day at 35°C equals 95°F.
Quick mental math: double Celsius and add 30 for a rough Fahrenheit estimate. 25°C × 2 + 30 = 80°F (exact: 77°F). For freezing, remember 0°C = 32°F.

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, or equivalently °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32.
180°C = (180 × 9/5) + 32 = 356°F, commonly rounded to 350°F for oven settings.
At -40 degrees: -40°C = -40°F. This is the only point where both scales read the same number.
