118 Celsius to Fahrenheit
118 degrees Celsius equals
244.4°F
244.4 degrees Fahrenheit
118°C is 244.4°F: above boiling, below most baking. This range handles slow roasting, dehydrating, and holding cooked food at a safe serving temperature.
How to convert 118°C to °F
Formula
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
Substituting 118°C
- 118 × 9/5 = 212.4
- 212.4 + 32 = 244.4
The two scales differ in both their zero point and their step size. A Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree, and the scales are offset by 32 degrees at the freezing point of water — which is why the conversion needs both a multiplication and an addition.
How 118°C compares
| Reference point | Temperature | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing point of water | 0°C / 32°F | 118°C (212.4°F) warmer |
| Room temperature | 21°C / 69.8°F | 97°C (174.6°F) warmer |
| Body temperature | 37°C / 98.6°F | 81°C (145.8°F) warmer |
| Boiling point of water | 100°C / 212°F | 18°C (32.4°F) warmer |
