Temperature Converter

Convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin with visual thermometer display and common reference points

Overview

The Temperature Converter provides instant conversion between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin temperature scales. Perfect for understanding weather forecasts abroad, following international recipes, or working with scientific measurements, this tool includes visual displays and common reference points.

Tips

  1. Quick Mental Conversion: To estimate Celsius to Fahrenheit, double the temperature and add 30. For Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 30 and divide by 2.
  2. Remember Key Points: Water freezes at 0°C/32°F and boils at 100°C/212°F. Room temperature is about 20-22°C (68-72°F).
  3. The -40 Rule: -40°C and -40°F are exactly the same temperature - the only point where both scales meet.
  4. Kelvin for Science: Use Kelvin for scientific work since it starts at absolute zero and has no negative values. Just add 273 to Celsius for a quick conversion.
  5. Context Matters: Body temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), a fever is above 38°C (100.4°F), and a comfortable summer day is around 25°C (77°F).
