What this means
This is cold-to-cool weather. 50 °F (10 °C) calls for a jacket; refrigerators run around 37 °F (3 °C).
- Fridge ≈ 37 °F (3 °C)
- Cool spring day ≈ 55 °F (13 °C)
The math, step by step
- Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value: 45 − 32 = 13.
- Multiply by 5/9: 13 × 5/9 = 7.22 °C.
Fahrenheit to Celsius table
Formula
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). The Fahrenheit scale sets water's freezing point at 32° and boiling at 212°, while Celsius uses 0° and 100°.
