What's normal body temperature in degrees Celsius? In Celsius, the normal body temperature is considered to be 37 degrees — that's 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The Celsius temperature scale is named for the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, who was born on this date in 1701; the scale is also called centigrade, since it is a 100-degrees based scale, with 0 as the freezing point of water and 100 as its boiling point. In 1742, Anders Celsius developed the temperature scale, originally proposing that the freezing point be 100 degrees and the boiling point be 0 degrees. The numbers were inverted a few years later, at the suggestion of botanist Carolus Linnaeus. The Celsius temperature scale is currently used in most places in the world, with the United States being a notable exception. To convert temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 degrees from the Fahrenheit temperature and multiply the result by 5/9.
