    Try this link.

    http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm

    It works either way - put in a temp in either box and click on the other one.

    Smile Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion

    I did a Google search and got this...

    In the formulas below, / represents division, * represents multiplication, - subtraction, + addition and = is equal.

    Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32); Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

    For example, suppose you have a Fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees and you wanted to convert it into degrees on the Celsius scale. Using the above formula, you would first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature and get 66.6 as a result. Then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths and get the converted value of 37 degrees Celsius.

    Below is the formula to convert a Celsius scale temperature into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.

    Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32; Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

    Assume that you have a Celsius scale temperature of 100 degrees and you wish to convert it into degrees on the Fahrenheit scale. Using the stated formula, you first multiply the Celsius scale temperature reading by nine-fifths and get a result of 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get the final converted result of 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.
    Whether you think you can, or think you cannot, you're probably right.

    take the celsius temp, multiply by 9, divide by 5, add 32 and you have fahrenheit.

    If you ever need conversions go to www.onlineconversion.com

    You can get just about any traditional conversion you need.

    You guys sound just like the finance guy at the Jeep dealership answering my question: "should I take the $5000 rebate or the 2.5 % loan rate?" . The formulas you stated were a whole lot like what he was saying..
    When my headache went away, I took the $5000 rebate, made 3 ( required) payments and paid off the loan.

    PS: But as far as THIS post topic, I always remember that in the Celsius scale, water freezes at O deg. C, while in Fahrenheit, water freezes at 32 deg. F.

    Everything in the threads above is correct, however sometimes a person needs to use mental arithmetic. As a Canadian who is 63, I grew up with F. but now 'we' use C. The old codgers have had a tougher time converting.
    The quick way is to take the C degrees x 2 plus 30 = F degrees.
    For example 15C = (15 x 2) + 30 = 60F. The perfect answer would be 59.
    To go from F degrees, subtract 30 and divide by 2 to get C.
    For example 72F = (72-30)/2 = 21C. The perfect answer would be 22.
    Since the purpose of these conversions is comprehension of what the temperature FEELS like, the error of one degree does not mean much IMO.
    Good luck.

    Default a quicker way

    if you're not doing nuclear chemistry, here is a quick way of knowing what the temps mean:

    0 C=32 F Water freezes and so do I

    20 C=68 F Comfortable all 'round

    35 C=95 F It's HOT!

    100 C=212 F Water boils
    fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.

    FWIW - the temperature conversion calculator is right at the top of the page.......
