Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius instantly. Enter any °F value to get the exact °C equivalent, plus the formula and a full reference table.
The formula is the algebraic inverse of the °C → °F formula:
| Fahrenheit (°F) | Celsius (°C) |
|---|---|
| -40 °F | -40 °C |
| 14 °F | -10 °C |
| 32 °F | 0 °C |
| 50 °F | 10 °C |
| 68 °F | 20 °C |
| 77 °F | 25 °C |
| 98.6 °F | 37 °C |
| 212 °F | 100 °C |
| 302 °F | 150 °C |
| 392 °F | 200 °C |
98.6 °F equals exactly 37 °C. This is widely cited as the average human body temperature, though normal body temperature can range between 36.1-37.2 °C (97-99 °F).
72 °F equals approximately 22.2 °C. This is a common comfortable indoor temperature in the US.
32 °F equals 0 °C - the freezing point of water at standard atmospheric pressure.
The Fahrenheit scale was established in 1724 by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. He set 0 °F at the freezing point of a brine solution (salt + water + ice), and 96 °F at human body temperature - the scale was later adjusted to its current values.
