Did you know? Celsius equals Fahrenheit is -40°C.

-40 is the only temperature where Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same number.

How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit

The formula is:

F = (C × 9/5) + 32

Example: -12° Celsius = -40.9° Fahrenheit

-40°C equals exactly -40°F — the only temperature where both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same number. This extreme cold occurs in Arctic regions and parts of interior Canada and Siberia.

About these units

Celsius: The degree Celsius (°C) is the SI-derived unit of temperature. It is defined so that 0 °C = 273.15 K exactly, with the same unit increment as the kelvin.

Fahrenheit: The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature unit in the US customary system. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 32 °F and the boiling point is 212 °F — exactly 180 degrees apart. ...
