Fahrenheit to Celsius converter

°C = (°F − 32) × 5⁄9

Subtract 32, multiply by 5, divide by 9. Type a temperature for the exact answer, or scan the chart below.

The head-maths shortcut, and where it breaks

“Subtract 30, then halve” gives 160.0 °C for 350 °F. The exact answer is 176.7 °C, so the shortcut is off by 16.7°. Try a chip above: the error is small around room temperature and grows with distance from it, because the real factor is 1.8, not 2.

Cooking temperatures worth knowing

Water freezes at 32 °F (0 °C) and boils at 212 °F (100 °C) at sea level. The USDA’s safe minimum internal temperatures are 165 °F (74 °C) for poultry, 160 °F (71 °C) for ground meat, and 145 °F (63 °C) for whole cuts of beef, pork and lamb followed by a 3-minute rest.

For oven settings with fan and gas-mark equivalents, use the oven temperature converter. Going the other way? Try Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Questions cooks ask

How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Subtract 32, then multiply by 5 and divide by 9: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Example: 350 °F − 32 = 318; 318 × 5/9 = 176.7 °C.

What is −20 °F in Celsius?

−20 °F is −28.9 °C.

What is 0 °F in Celsius?

0 °F is −17.8 °C, the temperature a home freezer is set to.

What is 350 °F in Celsius?

176.7 °C, which recipes round to 180 °C (160 °C in a fan oven, gas mark 4).

What is 98.6 °F in Celsius?

37 °C, the traditional figure for normal human body temperature.

At what temperature are Fahrenheit and Celsius the same?

At −40. Below that, Fahrenheit numbers are lower than Celsius ones; above it, higher.

Is there a quick way to estimate it in my head?

Subtract 30 and halve. 80 °F → 25 °C (exact 26.7). It is close for everyday weather but drifts badly at oven temperatures: 400 °F → 185, while the real answer is 204 °C.
