The typical temperature of the human body is around 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius). However, this can vary slightly between individuals and throughout the day due to factors such as physical activity, age, and time of day. Normal body temperature usually ranges between 97°F (36.1°C) and 99°F (37.2°C). It serves as an essential indicator of overall health, with deviations from this range potentially signaling illness or infection. Monitoring body temperature remains a standard practice in both clinical settings and at home to assess health status.
