Dear lewslgr, Here is how to translate Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa: Translation of degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit: - Multiply the Celsius temperature with 9 - Divide the result by 5 - Add 32 to the result - You now have the Fahrenheit temperature Formula: Temperature Fahrenheit = ( ( Temperature Celsius * 9 ) : 5 ) + 32 Translation of degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius: - Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature - Multiply the result with 5/9 - You now have the Celsius temperature Formula: Temperature Celsius = ( Temperature Fahrenheit - 32 ) * ( 5/9 ) You might also want to have a look at these websites: Automatic translation Celsius-Fahrenheit and Fahrenheit-Celsius http://www.vergabeinfo.at/umrechnung-cf.html Source: Vergabeinfo.at Translation table Celsius-Fahrenheit http://134.176.128.63/fheit.html Source: Amateurfunk-Ortsverband Schiffenberg, by Alwin Kratz Additional source used: Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien: Aufgaben zur LV "Einführung in die prozedurale und objektorientierte Programmierung (Object Rexx)" http://wwwi.wu-wien.ac.at/Studium/LVA-Unterlagen/poolv/folien/poolv_aufgaben.htm Search terms used: umrechnung celsius fahrenheit ://www.google.de/search?q=umrechnung+celsius+fahrenheit&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=de&meta= Hope this helps!

Hi lewslgr and scriptor... Here is the simple formula we Canadians use ( only for above freezing however ) Double celcius temperature and add 32. Examples: 10 C = 20 plus 32 = 52F 20 C = 40 plus 32 = 72F This formula was given when the metric system was first introduced in Canada as there were so many "oh so confused" people...seems to work real close but anything below 0 C I don't know or perhaps I'm too cold to remember as its currently -25 C tonight and high of - 12C expected tomorrow :( |

Simple formula

That simple formula actually works best for tempuratures around 0 C (above AND below). The difference is only 1/5 of a degree F per degree C, so you only get a 2 degree error at +-10 C, 4 degree error at +-20 C. The point where they are equal is at -40. -25 C is cold! |
