Just wondering because it's been almost 80F around here the last couple of days and my temp is a little higher than normal. Not feverish, just higher.

That's only true of cold-blooded animals. The term "cold-blooded" is really a misnomer. They can't thermoregulate, so they depend on the ability to get in and out of the sun to change their body temperature. Warm-blooded animals, which is all birds and mammals, have mechanisms that preserve or dissipate heat, in order to maintain a more or less constant internal temperature. Our internal temperature varies throughout the day by a bit. There is actually a range of normal, not an exact value for normal temperature. Most people hang out in the range of about 98.2 to 98.8, but it's not officially considered a fever until you reach 100.5F. Also, after exercise, your temperature goes up by about 0.5F and stays there awhile. This is thought to help maintain sweating and so-called vasodilation, in order to dissipate heat.

our body is thermoregulated, so is able to turn on the internal air conditioning system, to maintain body temperature at a relatively constant temperature despite variations in external atomospheric temperature. So unless your thermoregulation system is not operating correctly then your temperature wont rise significantly. A possible problem would be inability to sweat.

depends on how much higher, if it doesnt hit 100 i wouldnt worry about it, also depends on diet, exercise, and emotional state (although these only vary it between a couple of degrees, anything 100 or over is something to be potentially concerned with). our bodies should stay generally around 98.6 degree farenheit though, give or take a degree.

Your temp. could rise if you were outside working or exercising but I havn't heard about temp. rising and your own temp rising. hmm. i guess it could happen if you are out there too long, I don't see why not.

well your body need cold air just as its hard to live at 98.6 even thats your body temp, since its 80 it just means it harder to stay cooler

nope, body temperature should remain constant...around 98.4°F
