Text-related Information

Intensive Study

There are two different systems of temperatures that are used in weather forecasts. There is the Celsius system (°C), which is the one used in most countries. Another name for this system is centigrade. In Western countries the Fahrenheit system (° F) is also used. 0 °C equals 32 ° F and 100 °C equals 212 °F. The Celsius system is always used in weather forecasting, but because many Westerners are more familiar with Fahrenheit, temperatures are very often given in both ways. And please note temperatures are always given in degrees (plural form). For example, 0 degrees.
