For common weather measurements Fahrenheit is used in the US. For scientific purposes both the Fahrenheit and the Celsius scale are used.
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 9/5) + 32. Substituting -15 degrees Celsius into the formula, we get: Fahrenheit = (-15 x 9/5) + 32 = -15 x 1.8 + 32 = -27 + 32 = 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, -15 degrees Celsius is equal to 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fahrenheit is a temperature scale named after the physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), who proposed it in 1724. Today, the scale has largely been replaced by the Celsius scale; it is still in use for non-scientific purposes in the United States and a few other countries such as Belize,[1] and is sometimes given in weather forecasts and used by older people in the United Kingdom.
58 degrees Fahrenheit is relatively cool. It is equivalent to approximately 14.4 degrees Celsius. In terms of human comfort, 58 degrees Fahrenheit would be considered sweater weather for many people. However, the perception of coldness can vary based on individual tolerance and environmental factors.
In the Fahrenheit scale, 81o is a warm summer day. In the Celsius scale it is a lot hotter (the weather on Earth never gets that hot, and we would be in very serious trouble if it did).
