What is a “Normal” temperature?

Although the generally accepted “normal” temperature reading is 37.0 ‘C /98.6°F. temperature readings can vary from 36.1’C/97.0’F to 37.2°C /99.0’F and still may be considered “normal”. Variations in temperature can be attributed to activities such as exercise, smoking, eating and drinking. Your temperature is lower in the morning than in the afternoon. Other variations may be due to the location of the temperature reading. While the oral temperature follows the guidelines previously described, a rectal temperature is generally 0.5°C /1.0’F higher. Conversely, an axillary (under the arm) temperature will be 0.5°C /1.0’F lower.
