Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
1 celsius = 33.8 fahrenheit (°C to °F).
The celsius and the fahrenheit are two different temperature scales, so converting between them means shifting and rescaling the reading rather than multiplying by a single factor. On this page a celsius reading of 1° works out to 33.8 fahrenheit. Enter any value above to convert it instantly, and use the chart below for the readings people look up most.

How to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
Formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example: 10 celsius = 50 fahrenheit.
Celsius and Fahrenheit are related by an affine formula, not a simple multiplication: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. The 32-degree offset means you cannot just scale — you must add after multiplying. At 0 °C (the freezing point of water), the Fahrenheit reading is 32 °F; at 100 °C (boiling), it is 212 °F. Weather forecasts are the most common trigger: a comfortable 22 °C afternoon is 71.6 °F, which maps squarely to a warm summer day in American terms.
Cooking is where mistakes carry real consequences. A European recipe that calls for a 180 °C oven means 356 °F — most cooks round to 350 °F, which is close enough for most baking. A 200 °C roasting temperature converts to 392 °F; rounding to 400 °F adds only 8 °F and rarely affects the outcome. Precision matters more for delicate processes like tempering chocolate (31–32 °C = about 88–90 °F) or candy-making at specific stages.
The one temperature where the two scales agree is −40 °: negative forty Celsius is exactly negative forty Fahrenheit. This is not a rounding coincidence — it follows directly from solving °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32 for the intersection point. It comes up in Arctic weather reports and in some industrial low-temperature specifications.
