Fahrenheit to Celsius

The Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter transforms temperatures from the Fahrenheit scale—primarily used in the United States—to the Celsius scale used throughout most of the world and in scientific contexts. This essential conversion tool applies the precise formula (°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9) to ensure accurate results for any temperature value. Travelers heading to or from the US frequently need this conversion to understand weather forecasts, set appropriate thermostats, or interpret cooking temperatures. Medical professionals working internationally convert between fever readings, while students studying global scientific literature need to standardize temperature references. Common reference points include freezing (32°F = 0°C), room temperature (72°F = 22.2°C), body temperature (98.6°F = 37°C), and boiling point of water (212°F = 100°C). The converter handles negative temperatures and decimal precision, ensuring reliable results whether you're converting extreme weather reports, precisely controlled laboratory conditions, or everyday temperature readings. By eliminating manual calculation errors, this tool provides confidence that you're correctly interpreting temperature information across different measurement systems.
