Australia uses Celsius for all temperature reporting. To convert to Fahrenheit:
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
- 0°C (freezing) = 32°F
- 20°C (pleasant autumn day) = 68°F
- 35°C (hot summer day in Sydney) = 95°F
- 40°C (extreme heat, common in outback) = 104°F
- 100°C (boiling) = 212°F
Australians encounter Fahrenheit mainly on US websites, American TV weather segments, and American recipe websites. Australian ovens are calibrated in Celsius — when a US recipe calls for 350°F, the equivalent Australian oven temperature is 177°C (usually rounded to 180°C).
Australia experiences some of the highest temperatures ever recorded — the 2019 heat wave saw 49.9°C (121.8°F) in Onslow, Western Australia. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) publishes all forecasts in Celsius. Australia's major cities regularly see summer temperatures over 35°C (95°F).
