About 17°F to °C
Fahrenheit (°F) is the temperature scale used in the United States and a few other countries. Celsius (°C) is the standard scale in most of the world and in all scientific contexts. Body temperature readings on American thermometers use Fahrenheit. Normal body temperature of 98.6°F equals 37°C. A fever above 100.4°F means above 38°C — useful to know for medical care abroad. Oven temperatures in American recipes are given in Fahrenheit. A standard baking temperature of 350°F equals about 177°C (Gas Mark 4). Converting correctly prevents over- or under-cooking.
