How to convert 57 °F to Celsius
(57 − 32) × 5/9 = 25 × 5/9 = 125/9 = 13.89 °C
Subtract 32 first because the two scales put zero in different places, then multiply by 5/9 because a Fahrenheit degree is only 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree. 25 is not a multiple of 9, so the exact answer is the repeating decimal 13 8/9 °C.
Estimate it in your head
Subtract 30 and halve: (57 − 30) ÷ 2 = 13.5 °C. That is 0.4 degrees low, close enough to decide what to wear.
What 57 °F feels like
57 °F (13.89 °C) is close to the classic cellar temperature of about 55 °F that wine storage aims for: cool enough to slow aging, warm enough not to chill the wine.
Indoors, 57 °F is below the 68 °F daytime winter setting the US Department of Energy suggests for saving energy, so a home this cool would usually have the heat on.
