To convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we can plug in \( C = 30 \).

\[
F = \frac{9}{5}(30) + 32
\]

Calculating \( \frac{9}{5}(30) \):

\[
\frac{9}{5}(30) = 54
\]

Now, adding 32:

\[
F = 54 + 32 = 86
\]

Therefore, the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is \( \boxed{86} \).
