What is a temperature converter?
A temperature converter is an online tool that lets you convert temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales. It is especially useful when travelling, studying or working with international data.
How to convert temperature units?
Select the source scale, enter a temperature value and choose the target scale. The converter instantly calculates the precise result.
What are the temperature conversion formulas?
Key temperature conversion formulas:
- Celsius to Fahrenheit: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32
- Fahrenheit to Celsius: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
- Celsius to Kelvin: K = °C + 273.15
- Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K − 273.15
- Fahrenheit to Kelvin: K = (°F − 32) × 5/9 + 273.15
Temperature conversion examples
Body temperature: 36.6 °C = 97.88 °F. Normal human body temperature.
Boiling point of water: 100 °C = 212 °F = 373.15 K.
Cold winter day: −20 °C = −4 °F. A typical winter temperature in northern climates.
When to use a temperature converter?
A temperature converter is useful when travelling to countries that use Fahrenheit, reading scientific papers with Kelvin values, following cooking recipes from abroad or checking weather forecasts in different temperature scales.
