It is not unusual to have a temperature slightly below normal with some viral infections, such as the flu. Although usually the initial temperature is high with most kinds of influenza, it can be below normal in some people, especially in the later stages of the infection.

You are doing the right thing to keep an eye on your temperature for a while after other symptoms are gone. In some people and with some strains of the flu, fever can also return even after a short period of a normal or below normal temperature. Once you go a full 24 hours without symptoms and without fever when checked with a thermometer (and when using no fever-reducing medicines, such as aspirin or Tylenol, etc.), you can be considered no longer contagious.

The thermostat is the most likely cause, other than that the temp sensor could have failed sending the wrong temp reading to the gauge.


What is the temperature of a pond in West Virginia?

The water a ground temp of 54 to 56 degrees. So you haveto take the air temp into consideration. In 1988 we a weeks of the air temp in the hundreds, so the water got up to around 62 and 64 degrees. At the time I was working at a trout hatchery. We had to take the water temp in the moring when we started and at 2 oclock. Now that was in the raceways, the ponds could reach temp as high 90 degrees. The longer water sets the warmer it gets.
