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.
