Actually, anyone using Celsius degrees on daily basis, would write 36.6 degrees as human body temperature. 37 is slightly elevated. So 37 looks like "American converted known value from Farenheit scale" {{unsigned|172.68.138.182|12:18, 29 May 2023}} | Actually, anyone using Celsius degrees on daily basis, would write 36.6 degrees as human body temperature. 37 is slightly elevated.

:Well, 33.2–38.2°C (or 91.8–100.8°F, if you prefer, give or take the rounding in both) can actually be ''normal'', given acceptible changes in conditions (environmental) and condition (physiological). And of course it depends on which way you measure the core/surface temperature, even for the same person at the same instant. But it's the oft-quoted value. And just because it normally drifts doesn't mean that it hasn't ''ab''normally drifted, so can still be taken as a cue to check why it's a degree or three off the 'standard'. | :Well, 33.2–38.2°C (or 91.8–100.8°F, if you prefer, give or take the rounding in both) can actually be ''normal'', given acceptible changes in conditions (environmental) and condition (physiological).

:I suspect you could be more exacting with an uncomplaining long-dead corpse, but perhaps you don't need quite so much analysis when you already know that it's a long-dead corpse you're dealing with, once you've gotten past the need to assess the rate of insect pupation/etc. ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.132|172.70.85.132]] 13:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC) | :I suspect you could be more exacting with an uncomplaining long-dead corpse, but perhaps you don't need quite so much analysis when you already know that it's a long-dead corpse you're dealing with, once you've gotten past the need to assess the rate of insect pupation/etc. ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.85.132|172.70.85.132]] 13:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC) |
