I know I used to know how to do this but now when I try it gets all goofed up. I live in the US but am going to be going to Australia so why I am preparing and such I thought I better learn this conversion that I have forgotten along the way. Thanks!

there's a quick and dirty way to do it. it's not perfectly accurate but it'll give you about the temp. for celsius to fahrenheit, double the digit and add thirty two. for the other way around, do the opposite. pull 32, and divide the digit by two. it's the fastest easiest way.

Thanks for the tip. I remembered the 32 part but that was it.

And if you don't like math (the previous responder's idea is great, but I've never been able to do math in my head), another fast and easy way is to use an online conversion tool! LOL I use http://www.onlineconversion.com for all my converting needs!

Thanks I myself avoid math as much as possible LOL but it will be handy when I am unable to be online.

I used to use an online converter thingie but I just noticed it had disappeared - so thanks to the poster above - I just bookmarked that link.
As for me though all I remember is that 100F is close on 38C
Oh and if you're heading down this way soon - it's rather hot at the moment so you might want to start at the high end of your conversion scale :-)

Thanks for the discussion. I live in Australia and my brother lives in Texas. He is always telling me the temp over there and I have no ides what is hot or cold. It is about 20 degrees c here now so thats about 72 F is that right???

Thanks! That will help too. I won't be coming over probably until July or so and I know it will be cooler than. I wish I was coming over now as it is zero degrees F here right now!

The acurate way is as per formulae given.
C= (f-32)multiplied by 5/9.
F=9/5 multiplied by C+ 32.
Hope this will help all.
