How to convert 30 °C to Fahrenheit
30 × 1.8 = 54
54 + 32 = 86 °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. Since 30 is a multiple of 5, the result is a whole number.
Estimate it in your head
Double it and add 30: 30 × 2 + 30 = 90 °F, which is 4 degrees high.
Careful with temperature changes: a rise of 30 °C is a rise of 54 °F — multiply by 1.8 but do not add 32.
How hot 30 °C feels with humidity
At 86 °F, the heat index — the National Weather Service measure of how hot humid air feels — starts to matter:
| Relative humidity | Heat index | NWS category |
|---|---|---|
| 40% | 30 °C | Caution |
| 60% | 33 °C | Extreme caution |
| 80% | 38 °C | Extreme caution |
Above 30 °C, schedule hard outdoor work for the cooler hours, drink water regularly and watch for heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, dizziness and nausea.
