About Temperature Conversions
Temperature conversion allows you to convert between different temperature scales such as Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K). This is particularly useful for weather forecasts, cooking, scientific experiments, and international travel where different temperature scales are used.
Converting Between Celsius and Fahrenheit
Converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit (°C to °F or °F to °C) is one of the most common temperature conversions. Celsius is used in most countries worldwide, while Fahrenheit is primarily used in the United States for weather forecasts, cooking, and everyday temperature measurements.
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius value by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 20°C equals 68°F (20 × 9/5 + 32 = 68).
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9. For example, 68°F equals 20°C ((68 - 32) × 5/9 = 20).

Other Temperature Units
Our converter also supports Kelvin (K), which is the standard unit of temperature in the International System of Units (SI). The Kelvin scale is commonly used in scientific contexts. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273.15 to the Celsius value. For example, 20°C equals 293.15K (20 + 273.15 = 293.15).
