The F stands for the Fahrenheit temperature scale, the scale that is commonly used in the United States and on which water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°.

Since the Celsius temperature scale is the one commonly used around the world, when traveling to or from the U.S. it helps to know that a change of 5° C equals a change of 9° F, and that -40°C = -40°F.
