A water temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) can lead to death in as little as one hour, and water temperatures near freezing can cause death in as little as 15 minutes. [37] During the sinking of the Titanic , most people who entered the −2 °C (28 °F) water died in 15–30 minutes.
The all-time record high temperature is 100 °F (37.8 °C), on July 10, 2023, and August 11, 2023. Lows in summer average between 70 °F (21.1 °C) and 75 °F (23.9 °C), with low temperatures in all times of year averaging 5 degrees cooler than coastal Miami, mainly because of its inland and rural location.
This is a list of cities by average temperature (monthly and yearly). The temperatures listed are averages of the daily highs and lows. Thus, the actual daytime temperature in a given month may be considerably higher than the temperature listed here, depending on how large the difference between daily highs and lows is.
It is estimated that the worldwide average height for an adult human male is about 171 cm (5 ft 7 in), while the worldwide average height for adult human females is about 159 cm (5 ft 3 in). [165] Shrinkage of stature may begin in middle age in some individuals but tends to be typical in the extremely aged . [ 166 ]
The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
The platypus has an average body temperature of about 32 °C (90 °F), lower than the 37 °C (99 °F) typical of placental mammals. [33] Research suggests this has been a gradual adaptation to harsh environmental conditions among the few marginal surviving monotreme species, rather than a general characteristic of past monotremes.

Dermatitis is a term used for different types of skin inflammation, typically characterized by itchiness, redness and a rash. [1] In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters, while in long-term cases the skin may become thickened. [1]
While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they can also have other causes. [1] Over 100 types of cancers affect humans. [7] Tobacco use is the cause of about 22% of cancer deaths. [2] Another 10% are due to obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity or excessive alcohol consumption.
