Relatively normal: Your daily variation in temperature due to metabolism alone is at its low point in the early AM (during sleep) and peaks mid afternoon due to activities of daily living.

No: The average normal core temperature is generally considered to be between 98.0 and 98.6 degree F when measured orally and about 1 degree F higher when measured rectally. Core temperature of 100.4 or greater when measured rectally is generally considered a fever.
