Converting 60 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius is a common temperature conversion. Fahrenheit (°F) is commonly used in the United States, while Celsius (°C) is the metric standard used globally.

To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula:

C = (F-32) / 1.8
 
For 60°F to °C:

C = (60 − 32) / 1.8
C = 28 / 1.8
C ≈ 15.56
​
Therefore, 60°F is approximately equal to 15.56°C.

​For quick and precise conversions, you can use an online temperature conversion calculator. Enter the Fahrenheit value, like 60°F, and the calculator will instantly display the equivalent Celsius temperature.
