| 100 °C | 212.0 °F | Water boiling point |
Examples
1 °C
32 °F
How it works
To convert celsius (°C) to fahrenheit (°F), perform the following calculation:
Formula
°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Method
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8), then add 32 to get Fahrenheit.

Frequently asked questions
Multiply the Celsius temperature by 9/5 (or 1.8), then add 32 to the result.
0°C is exactly 32°F (freezing point of water); 20°C is exactly 68°F (room temperature); and 100°C is exactly 212°F (boiling point of water).
For a quick estimate, double the Celsius temperature and add 30. For example, 20°C is about (20 × 2) + 30 = 70°F (actual is 68°F).
