Real-World Temperature Conversions
Weather Forecasts
Converting temperatures when traveling internationally or reading foreign weather reports. US uses Fahrenheit, most other countries use Celsius.
Cooking and Baking
Recipe temperatures may be in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Oven settings need conversion for international recipes (e.g., 180°C = 350°F).
Medical and Health
Body temperature varies by scale: normal is 98.6°F or 37°C. Medical equipment may use either scale depending on the region.
Scientific Research
Scientists use Kelvin for absolute measurements and Celsius for everyday lab work. Understanding all scales is essential for collaboration.
HVAC and Climate Control
Thermostats and climate control systems may display in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Knowing conversions helps set comfortable temperatures.
Industrial Processes
Manufacturing and industrial processes require precise temperature control. Different machinery may use different scales.
