To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius:
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
- 32°F = 0°C
- 98.6°F = 37°C (body temperature)
- 350°F = 176.7°C (baking temperature)
- 212°F = 100°C
When cooking from American recipe websites or reading US weather apps, Australians need to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. Australian ovens, thermometers, and weather services all use Celsius, so Fahrenheit values need converting for practical use.
Australian fan-forced ovens typically run 10–20°C cooler than conventional ovens. A US recipe calling for 375°F (191°C conventional) would be 170–180°C fan-forced in an Australian oven.
