Reference

Celsius and Fahrenheit meet at −40° (−40 °C = −40 °F). Water freezes at 0 °C / 32 °F / 273.15 K and boils at 100 °C / 212 °F / 373.15 K at sea level.

Use this free temperature converter to convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. Enter a temperature in any scale and see the other two update instantly.

What this temperature converter does

temperature converter changes a temperature between Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F) and Kelvin (K). Pick the unit you’re starting from, enter the value, and all three scales are shown together.

Temperature conversion formulas

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
K = °C + 273.15

So 25 °C = 77 °F = 298.15 K, and normal body temperature 37 °C = 98.6 °F.

Common temperatures

Reference °C °F K
Absolute zero −273.15 −459.67 0
Water freezes 0 32 273.15
Body temperature 37 98.6 310.15
Water boils 100 212 373.15

Why Celsius and Fahrenheit meet at −40

The two scales cross at −40°: −40 °C equals −40 °F. It’s the one point where the formulas give the same number, a handy fact to remember.

How to use the temperature converter

  1. Pick the starting unit (°C, °F or K).
  2. Enter the temperature.
  3. Read all three scales instantly.

Temperature Converter FAQ

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply by 9/5 and add 32. So 25 °C × 9/5 + 32 = 77 °F. The converter does it instantly in either direction.

How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. For example, (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37 °C.

How do I convert Celsius to Kelvin?

Add 273.15. So 0 °C is 273.15 K and 100 °C is 373.15 K. Kelvin can't go below 0.

What is normal body temperature?

About 37 °C, which is 98.6 °F or 310.15 K, though normal varies slightly from person to person.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

At −40°: −40 °C equals −40 °F. It's the single point where the two scales meet.

Is the temperature converter free?

Yes, this temperature converter is completely free, needs no sign-up, and gives instant results in your browser.
