20°C to Fahrenheit

68°F

20°C = 68°F = 293.15 K

Working: (20 × 9/5) + 32 = 68

20 degrees Celsius converts to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 (which is 1.8) and then add 32. For 20°C: 20 × 1.8 = 36, and 36 + 32 = 68. Going the other way, subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit value and multiply by 5/9.

If you only need a rough figure, double the Celsius number and add 30 — that gives 70°F here, which is 2 degrees off the exact 68°F. The shortcut is accurate enough for weather but not for cooking or medical use.

Twenty degrees is the temperature most often quoted as 'room temperature' in metric countries, and it is the reference point for a large amount of laboratory and materials data. Wine storage, paint application, and adhesive cure times are all commonly specified at or near this figure.

Frequently asked questions

What is 20 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

20°C is 68°F. Multiply 20 by 1.8 to get 36, then add 32 to get 68.

What is the formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit?

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. Multiply the Celsius temperature by 1.8, then add 32. To reverse it, subtract 32 first and then multiply by 5/9.
