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).
