degree Celsius
Metric heat measure
A degree Celsius is a unit of temperature on the Celsius scale, where water freezes at 0° and boils at 100° at standard atmospheric pressure.
The scale is used throughout most of the world and in scientific contexts: It's supposed to reach 35 degrees Celsius today.
Americans typically convert to Fahrenheit for everyday use.
