Delisle to Fahrenheit Converter

About Delisle (°D) and Fahrenheit (°F) Units

The Delisle scale (°De), created in 1732 by French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, is a historical temperature system. Unlike modern scales, it sets the boiling point of water at 0°De and the freezing point at 150°De. This scale was mainly used in Russia and parts of Europe for early meteorological observations and scientific measurements. Although no longer used today, Delisle remains of interest for historical studies and temperature conversions. Fahrenheit (°F) is a temperature unit mainly used in the United States for weather forecasts, cooking, refrigerators, and household measurements. In this scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. For example, a typical room temperature is around 68–72°F, and normal body temperature is about 98.6°F. Many people prefer Fahrenheit because it gives more precise temperature steps for daily weather and comfort levels.
