The Fahrenheit to Celsius formula

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 98.6 °F becomes (98.6 − 32) × 0.5556 = 66.6 × 0.5556 ≈ 37 °C. A quick mental shortcut is to subtract 30 and then halve the result.

Common Fahrenheit temperatures in Celsius

Freezing is 32 °F (0 °C) and boiling is 212 °F (100 °C). A 72 °F room is about 22 °C, a 98.6 °F body temperature is 37 °C, and a hot 90 °F summer day is roughly 32 °C. See the table below for more conversions.
