Centigrade to Celsius Converter

“Centigrade” and “Celsius” are the exact same temperature scale — 1:1, always. This tool just makes that explicit.

“Centigrade” was the original name for this scale (from Latin: 100 steps between freezing and boiling water). It was formally renamed “Celsius” in 1948, after the scale’s creator, Anders Celsius but the two names describe the exact same temperatures.
