How to convert −14 °C to Fahrenheit
−14 × 1.8 = −25.2
−25.2 + 32 = 6.8 °F
Multiply by 9/5 (1.8) because each Celsius degree spans 1.8 Fahrenheit degrees, then add 32 because water freezes at 32 °F rather than 0. The answer always has at most one decimal place, because multiplying a whole number by 1.8 can only leave tenths.
Estimate it in your head
Double it and add 30: −14 × 2 + 30 = 2 °F, which is 4.8 degrees low — good for weather, not for cooking or medicine.
Careful with temperature changes: a rise of 14 °C is a rise of 25.2 °F — multiply by 1.8 but do not add 32.
What −14 °C means outdoors
At 6.8 °F, standing water freezes and road surfaces can glaze over. Dry snow squeaks underfoot at these temperatures, and salt works more slowly on roads. With wind, it feels colder still:

|---|---|---|---|
| 10 km/h | −20 °C | −4 °F | Cover exposed skin |
| 20 km/h | −23 °C | −9 °F | Cover exposed skin |
| 40 km/h | −26 °C | −15 °F | Cover exposed skin |
