About 5°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. A useful mental shortcut: subtract 30 from the Fahrenheit value and halve it. This gives a rough Celsius estimate — accurate to within a few degrees for common temperatures. 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.
