Average human body temperature. Body temperature changes throughout the day. It is the lowest in the early morning between 4 and 6 a.m., and the highest in the early evening between 6 and 8 p.m. Normal temperature is about 37Â°C or 98.6Â°F.However, it can be as low as 36.1Â°C (97Â°F) in the early morning to a high of 37.2Â°C (99Â°F) in the evening and still be considered normal.hese temperatures are the core body temperature.
