11 Fahrenheit to Celsius
11 degrees Fahrenheit equals
-11.67°C
-11.67 degrees Celsius
11°F is -11.67°C, well below the point where water freezes. Roads ice over here, and this is where winter forecasts in northern climates spend most of the season. For reference, water freezes at 0°C, or 32°F.
How to convert 11°F to °C
Formula
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
Substituting 11°F
- 11 − 32 = -21
- -21 × 5/9 = -11.67
Fahrenheit places the freezing point of water at 32 rather than 0, so that offset comes off first. What remains is then scaled by 5/9, because a Celsius degree covers 1.8 times as much temperature change as a Fahrenheit degree.
How 11°F compares
| Reference point | Temperature | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing point of water | 0°C / 32°F | 11.7°C (21°F) colder |
| Room temperature | 21°C / 69.8°F | 32.7°C (58.8°F) colder |
| Body temperature | 37°C / 98.6°F | 48.7°C (87.6°F) colder |
| Boiling point of water | 100°C / 212°F | 111.7°C (201°F) colder |
