Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature below 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) in humans. [2] Symptoms depend on the temperature. In mild hypothermia, there is shivering and mental confusion.
Normal body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F), and hypothermia sets in when the core body temperature gets lower than 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, hypothermia is usually treated by methods that attempt to raise the body temperature back to a normal range. [3]
Sufficient stress from extreme external temperature may cause injury or death if it exceeds the ability of the body to thermoregulate. Hypothermia can set in when the core temperature drops to 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Hyperthermia can set in when the core body temperature rises above 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F).

Heat intolerance is a symptom characterized by feeling overheated in warm environments or when the surrounding environment's temperature rises. [1] Typically, the person feels uncomfortably hot and sweats excessively.
Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness characterized by the body's inability to effectively cool itself, typically occurring in high ambient temperatures or during intense physical exertion. In heat exhaustion, core body temperature ranges from 37 °C to 40 °C (98.6 °F to 104 °F).
Cold sensitivity or cold intolerance is unusual discomfort felt by some people when in a cool environment. [1]Cold sensitivity may be a symptom of hypothyroidism, anemia, low body weight, iron deficiency, vitamin B 12 deficiency, fevers, fibromyalgia or vasoconstriction. [2]
