Most Spanish-speaking countries use Celsius for temperature measurement, unlike the Fahrenheit system familiar to some, particularly in the U.S. Knowing how to convert between these systems is crucial for understanding weather reports. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 0.555. Conversely, for Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32. Familiarizing yourself with temperature ranges can also help: for example, -20°C is frigid, while 20-30°C is warm. This guide simplifies temperature comprehension across different countries.

Celcius • Keep in mind that most of the Spanish-speaking world (indeed, nearly the entire world) uses temperatures in Celsius rather than the Fahrenheit you're used to if you live in the United States. To convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply the result by 0.555 (or five-ninths). To convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the temperature by 1.8 and add 32. Mathematically, the formulas look like this: •C = 5(F-32)/9 • •F = 9C/5 + 32 • If you try these formulas, you'll find that a body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the same as 37 degrees Celsius, and vice versa. And the 200-degree oven in one of the examples above is the same as one that's set at a bit under 400 degrees Fahrenheit. • Of course, mathematical precision isn't always necessary. Here's how I often think of temperatures in Celsius: • •-20 degrees C or below (-4 degrees F or below): frigid (muyfrío) • •-20 to 0 degrees C (-4 to 32 degrees F): cold (frío) • •0 to 10 degrees C (32 to 50 degrees F): cool (fresco) • •10 to 20 degrees C (50 to 68 degrees F): mild (templado) • •20 to 30 degrees C (68 to 86 degrees F): warm (caliente) • •30 to 40 degrees C (86 to 104 degrees F): hot (muycaliente) • •40 degrees C and above (104 degrees F and above): unbearably hot (insoportablementecaliente)
