37°C (98.6°F) is the standard human body temperature. A measurement above 38°C is generally a fever. Body temperature varies throughout the day by about 0.5“1°C, lowest around 4 AM and highest around 6 PM. Factors like exercise, digestion, and hormonal cycles also cause fluctuations. In medical settings, accurate temperature measurement is essential for diagnosing infections and monitoring recovery.
