For temperature as it relates to choosing an embarkation site, see Climate.
Temperature scale
Dwarf Fortress uses its own temperature scale in most cases, often called "Degrees Urist" on this wiki. So if you see something like [HOMEOTHERM:10067], don't be amazed.
Magma's temperature is 12,000° Urist.
Conversion
[DF scale] = [FAHRENHEIT] + 9968
[DF scale] = [CELSIUS] * 9/5 + 10000
[DF scale] = [KELVIN] * 9/5 + 9508.33
[DF scale] = [RANKINE] + 9508.33
Melting point
This is the temperature at which an object will melt.
Boiling point
This is the temperature at which an object will evaporate.
Ignition point
This is the temperature at which an object will catch fire.
Specific heat
This determines how long it takes an object to heat up or cool down. An object with high specific heat will change temperature more slowly.
