Food safety

Minimum internal temperature references published by USDA FSIS.

  • Whole cuts of beef and pork: 63 °C / 145 °F, with a 3-minute rest.
  • Ground meat: 71 °C / 160 °F.
  • Poultry: 74 °C / 165 °F.

Health

Normal body temperature varies by person, age, time of day and measurement method. This converter does not diagnose fever.

A body temperature below 35 °C / 95 °F may indicate hypothermia and requires urgent medical attention.

Formulas principales

Conversions use full precision and are rounded only for display.

Celsius to Fahrenheit

°F = (°C × 9 / 5) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius

°C = (°F - 32) × 5 / 9

Celsius to Kelvin

K = °C + 273.15

Kelvin is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature and is written without a degree symbol. See the reference from NIST.

Frequently asked questions

How do you convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Multiply Celsius by 9/5 and add 32. For example, 20 °C equals 68 °F.

How do you convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Subtract 32 from Fahrenheit and multiply by 5/9. For example, 68 °F equals 20 °C.

What is 37 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

37 °C equals 98.6 °F. It is a common body-temperature reference, although normal values vary by person and measurement method.

What is 100 °F in Celsius?

100 °F is approximately 37.78 °C.

What is absolute zero in Celsius?

Absolute zero equals -273.15 °C, 0 K or -459.67 °F. It is the theoretical minimum temperature.

Why does Kelvin not use the degree symbol?

Kelvin is the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature. Its symbol is K, without a degree sign.

At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

The two scales meet at -40: -40 °C equals -40 °F.

What is 180 °C in a Fahrenheit oven?

180 °C equals 356 °F.
