Fahrenheit to Celsius converter

Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius instantly using the standard (°F − 32) × 5/9 formula. Key for understanding US weather readings in metric countries, converting American baking recipes to European oven settings, and reading health references across temperature scales.

Most needed when an American weather app shows 95°F on a trip abroad and you need to know if it is hot, when a US cookbook calls for 350°F and your oven shows Celsius, or when a medical guideline quotes a fever threshold in Fahrenheit that your thermometer displays in Celsius.

Calculation: C = (F - 32) × 5/9

Conversion Formula

C = (F - 32) × 5/9

Fahrenheit to Celsius is not a simple one-number conversion. The formula changes both the scale and the starting point, so the offset matters as much as the multiplier.

Use the full formula exactly as written to avoid errors, especially around freezing, boiling, or negative temperatures.

Reverse

F = (C × 9/5) + 32

For the reverse direction, apply the matching reverse formula instead of trying to divide the original equation.

How to Convert

1Start with the Fahrenheit valueEnter the amount you already have in F. Double-check the source unit first so you are converting the right number.
2Apply the Fahrenheit to Celsius formulaUse C = (F - 32) × 5/9 or let the converter calculate it instantly. This gives you the equivalent value in C.
3Round for your use caseUse more decimals for science, billing, or engineering. For everyday use, round only after the full conversion is done.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is 32°F in Celsius?

32°F is exactly 0°C — the freezing point of water. Formula: (32 − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C.

QWhat is 98.6°F in Celsius?

98.6°F equals 37°C, the standard normal human body temperature. Formula: (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 66.6 × 5/9 = 37°C.

QWhat is 212°F in Celsius?

212°F is exactly 100°C — the boiling point of water at sea level. Formula: (212 − 32) × 5/9 = 180 × 5/9 = 100°C.

QWhat is 350°F in Celsius?

350°F equals approximately 176.7°C. Formula: (350 − 32) × 5/9 = 318 × 5/9 ≈ 176.7°C. This is a very common oven temperature for baking — often rounded to 175°C.

QWhat temperature is 104°F in Celsius?

104°F equals exactly 40°C. This is an important health reference point — a temperature above 40°C (104°F) is considered a high fever requiring immediate medical attention.

Understanding the units

What is F?

Fahrenheit is commonly used in the US for weather forecasts and household temperature settings.

What is C?

Celsius is the most common temperature scale worldwide for weather and everyday measurements.

Where this conversion shows up

Fahrenheit To Celsius Converter often comes up in daily weather and travel forecasts, oven and cooking temperature settings, and science, lab, and engineering references. It is most useful when the source value is published in one unit but the person reading it expects another.

If you are comparing nearby units, browse the full temperature converters collection for the closest match instead of doing extra manual steps.

A common next step is to compare this result with Celsius To Fahrenheit or switch direction with Celsius To Fahrenheit.

Real-world examples

Weather forecasts and travel

0 F -> -17.77777777777778 C

Essential when a weather app, travel guide, or climate report shows temperatures in a scale that is unfamiliar to you.

Cooking, baking, and food safety

10 F -> -12.222222222222221 C

Useful when a recipe calls for a specific oven temperature or safe cooking temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Science, engineering, and lab work

20 F -> -6.666666666666667 C

Important when equipment, research notes, or technical standards express temperature differently from your calculation tool.

Quick reference and common mistakes

Use the quick table for fast lookups and the formula when accuracy matters. Keep more decimals during intermediate steps, then round only for the final number you plan to show or report.

Applying a simple multiply-only factor to temperature conversions (offset is also required).
Rounding too early before finishing calculations.
Confusing absolute temperature (Kelvin) with relative scales (Celsius/Fahrenheit).

Why this conversion matters

Converting Fahrenheit to Celsius accurately prevents communication errors between teams, tools, and regions that use different standards. If you need the opposite direction, use the Celsius To Fahrenheit Converter.
