Why Convert Reaumur to Celsius?

Historical European documents, traditional recipes, and antique thermometers often use the Reaumur scale. Converting to Celsius allows modern readers to understand these temperatures in familiar terms. This is particularly important for historians, culinary researchers, traditional cheesemakers, and anyone working with 18th-19th century European temperature records.

How the Conversion Works

The conversion from Reaumur to Celsius multiplies by 1.25 (or 5/4): °C = °Re × 1.25. Both scales set 0° at freezing water, but differ at boiling (80°Re = 100°C). Each Reaumur degree is 1.25 Celsius degrees, so the multiplication factor directly converts between them.

When to Use This Converter

Use this Reaumur to Celsius converter when interpreting historical scientific papers, following traditional cheesemaking instructions, reading antique thermometers, researching historical weather records, or understanding temperatures in 18th-19th century European literature and documents.
