Temperature classification
Core (rectal, esophageal, etc.)
Hypothermia <35.0 °C (95.0 °F)[1]
Note: The difference between fever and hyperthermia is the underlying mechanism. Different sources have different cut-offs for fever, hyperthermia and hyperpyrexia.

Body temperature is maintained within the range 36.5-37.5 °C. It is lowest in the early morning and highest in the afternoon.

Dantrolene may also be associated with improved survival and reduced complications, especially in patients with extreme (≥ 42 °C) or severe (≥ 40 °C) hyperpyrexia

Despite the myriad of complications associated with heat illness, an elevation of core temperature above 41.0 °C (often referred to as fever or hyperpyrexia) is the most widely recognized symptom of this syndrome.
