Thank you, Mauro. I thought it gave absolute temperatures in previous versions (26.1, for example), but I just checked on version 25.1, and it, too, does as you say.

Hello.
That's because ‘u c’ treats temperature units as relative, and not as
absolute. The result you got means that a change of 10 degrees Celsius
equals to a change of 18 degrees Fahrenheit.
You need to use ‘u t’ (calc-convert-temperature) to convert an absolute
temperature from one scale to another. With that command, you'll get
the expected 50 degF.
Best regards,
Mauro.
