Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-000435
The standard scale used to measure temperature in most areas outside the United States. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 0°F and the boiling point is 100°F. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 from it and then multiply by 5/9:
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9
