How It Works
The UK officially uses Celsius for temperature measurement, but Fahrenheit is still commonly understood, especially among older generations and in weather discussions. This converter handles Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin conversions in both directions.
Key reference points: water freezes at 0°C (32°F) and boils at 100°C (212°F). Normal body temperature is approximately 37°C (98.6°F). The NHS considers a fever to be 38°C or above. Oven temperatures are often given in Celsius with a gas mark equivalent in UK recipes.
Example: Common temperature conversions
- 20°C = 68°F (comfortable room temperature)
- 37°C = 98.6°F (body temperature)
- 180°C = 356°F / Gas Mark 4 (moderate oven)
- −40°C = −40°F (the point where both scales meet)
