Celsius

The Celsius, also known as centigrade (or simply °C) was a unit of temperature based on the metric system.
The Celsius temperature scale was designed so that the freezing point of water was 0 °C, and the boiling point was 100 °C at one Earth atm, which resulted in the zero point of the temperature unit Kelvin (or "absolute zero") being at −273.15 °C.
The body function panels in sickbay measured a patient's body temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. ()
The replicators aboard a Federation starship like the were calibrated to the Celsius metric system. ()

==Variations in temperature==
Although not explicitly stated in terms of "degrees of what", the following temperature references were most likely in Celsius.
