Temperature Converter

Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value, then multiply by 5/9. The formula is C = (F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 98.6°F becomes (98.6 − 32) × 5/9 = 37°C.

0°C equals 32°F. This is the freezing point of water. Using the formula F = C × 9/5 + 32: 0 × 9/5 + 32 = 32°F.

Add 273.15 to the Celsius value: K = C + 273.15. For example, 25°C equals 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K. To go the other way, subtract 273.15 from Kelvin to get Celsius.

Normal human body temperature is about 98.6°F, which converts to 37°C using the formula C = (F − 32) × 5/9. A fever is generally considered to start around 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.

Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale used in science, where 0 K represents absolute zero — the theoretical point where all molecular motion stops. Because it's an absolute scale (not based on a reference point like water freezing), it's written as '300 K', not '300°K'.

No — this general-purpose temperature converter handles everyday conversions between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. For converting recipe oven temperatures specifically, including gas mark settings used in UK recipes, use our dedicated oven temperature converter instead.

Absolute zero is 0 K, which equals −273.15°C and −459.67°F. It's the coldest theoretically possible temperature, where particles have minimal thermal motion.

The converter uses the exact, internationally standardized conversion formulas (C = (F−32)×5/9 and K = C+273.15), so results are mathematically precise to the decimal places shown. It's suitable for everyday, scientific, cooking, and weather-related conversions.
