...for the people still on Imperial units, rather than the SI/"metric" system -- 45 C is 113 F. ~36-37 C is body temperature (I've memorized 36 from my high school days, but Google says 37) which is pretty dang hot. At 113 F my skin would probably boil off... well, that's what it would feel like, anyhow!
I asked my wife, a retired doctor.
37 is generally considered to be body temperature. But people vary. My wife says her basal body temperature is 36.4.
38.5 and above is considered to be a fever.
