Réaumur (°Ré)

Temperature

SI definition

Traceable to the kelvin, defined by fixing the Boltzmann constant at 1.380 649 × 10⁻²³ J/K. Celsius and Fahrenheit are exact affine transforms of the kelvin scale.

How to Convert Réaumur to Celsius

To convert from Réaumur (°Ré) to Celsius (°C), multiply the value by 1.25.

Formula: °C = °Ré × 5/4

Reverse: °Ré = °C × 4/5

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Réaumur. For example: 5 °Ré
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 1.25
The result is: 6.25 °C

About Réaumur

The Réaumur scale sets water's freezing point at 0 °Ré and its boiling point at 80 °Ré. It survives in a few European cheese and syrup recipes.

Common uses: historic recipes, history of science.

About Celsius

The Celsius scale sets 0°C as the freezing point and 100°C as the boiling point of water at standard pressure. It is used by most countries worldwide.

Fun Fact: Anders Celsius originally proposed a scale where 100° was freezing and 0° was boiling—it was later reversed!

Common uses: weather, cooking, science.
