What Body Temperature Is Considered Normal for Children and Adults

Many people still believe that a “normal” body temperature is exactly 36.6°C. In reality, modern medicine confirms that the normal range is 35.9–37.2°C.
Body temperature varies based on age, time of day, physical activity, and the place where you measure it.

What Influences Body Temperature

1. Place of measurement

Different methods provide different values:

2. Time of day

3. Physical activity and emotions

After exercise, a hot bath, or strong stress, temperature may temporarily rise.

Adults

The normal range remains 35.9–37.2°C.

Seniors (65+)

Temperature may drop to 36.0–36.3°C.
