Normal Body Temperature Range

The normal body temperature range for a healthy human is typically around 36.1 °C to 37.2 °C (97 °F to 99 °F). A temperature of 39.2 °C indicates a fever, which can be a sign of infection or illness. Recognizing this range is important for evaluating health conditions and determining when medical attention may be necessary.
