The Celsius temperature scale is standard in Japan. You will find temperatures on Japanese weather forecasts or weather data in Celsius degrees.

  • To convert a Celsius temperature into Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius temperature by 9 and divide the answer by 5. Then, add 32.
  • To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, divide the answer by 9. Then, multiply the answer by 5.
