To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 (1.8) and add 32.
Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Quick mental check: double the Celsius value and add 30 — gives an approximation within ±2°F.
- 0°C = 32°F (freezing)
- 20°C = 68°F (mild British day)
- 37°C = 98.6°F (body temperature)
- 100°C = 212°F (boiling)
UK residents travelling to the US (or a few Caribbean islands) will encounter Fahrenheit on weather forecasts, ovens, and thermostats. American recipes specify oven temperatures in °F — 350°F = 177°C (a typical baking temperature).
The UK officially uses Celsius, but older generations may still refer to Fahrenheit — "it's in the 80s today" (80s°F = mid-20s°C) is still heard in casual speech. UK weather forecasters exclusively use °C. A "hot" UK summer day is around 28–32°C (82–90°F).
