97.2o F. On average, underarm-measured human body temperature is about about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit less than the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees F., so that would be 97.2 degrees. (That's about 37.3 degrees Centigrade/Celsius.) The reason for the inexactness and confusion on this matter is simply that underarm measurements are very hard to obtain accurately. So some will say to add--conveniently--1 degree to an axillary temperature reading, while others say add up to 1.8 degrees (in Fahrenheit).

Is 35.6 a low temperature in a person?

Yes. Then normal human body temperature is 37 degrees C, and has a variation down to about 36.5 and up to about 37.5 under normal circumstances. 35.6 is a state of mild hypothermia. it also depends on where the temp is taken. an axillary temp (under the armpit) will be approximately 1 degree lower than a rectal temperature. People also have variations in body temp, and a degree flucuation in either direction can be normal. it's all about knowing what is normal for you.
