Hypothermia happens when heat loss occurs faster than heat production and the body’s core temperature falls below 95°F (35°C). One incorrect assumption associated with hypothermia is that it only relates to cold outdoor exposure. Hypothermia can happen any time of year and can even happen indoors on a sunny summer day.
