7 Fahrenheit to Celsius
7 degrees Fahrenheit equals
-13.89°C
-13.89 degrees Celsius
7°F is -13.89°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 7°F to °C
Formula
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
Substituting 7°F
- 7 − 32 = -25
- -25 × 5/9 = -13.89
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 7°F compares
| Reference point | Temperature | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Freezing point of water | 0°C / 32°F | 13.9°C (25°F) colder |
| Room temperature | 21°C / 69.8°F | 34.9°C (62.8°F) colder |
| Body temperature | 37°C / 98.6°F | 50.9°C (91.6°F) colder |
| Boiling point of water | 100°C / 212°F | 113.9°C (205°F) colder |
