The SI unit (systeme internacional, in french), or the universally recognized standard unit, for temperature is the Kelvin. ( 273 K is equal to 0 degrees celsius) however, this is usually only used for scientific measurements and the celsius is more common for things like telling how hot it is outside and simple things like that.
