To convert the temperature change from Fahrenheit to Celsius, we use the formula $C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. Applying this to both temperatures: $35^\circ F = 1.67^\circ C$ and $75^\circ F = 23.89^\circ C$. The change in Celsius is $23.89^\circ C - 1.67^\circ C = 22.22^\circ C$, which rounds to $22^\circ C$.
