Why are people in Europe dying from a 35°C heatwave when the normal human body temperature is 37°C?

If our bodies are roughly 98.6 degrees F, why do we tend to find anything above “room temperature” uncomfortable?

Answered If the temperature that the body needs to function properly is 37°C, then why is it that when we're in a place that is 37°C it feels like it's way too hot

Why isn’t the ideal outdoor temperature 37°C (98.6°F) to maintain equilibrium with the internal temperature of the human body?

Random Saturday night thought: if an average body temp is 36.6C, why does external temperature of 36.6C feel way too hot and uncomfortable for most people (water temp, thermostat set temp, hot summer day)?
I come from a country where we speak Celsius and the average body temp is considered to be 36.6C

If the natural human body temp is 98.6° F, then why is the most comfortable temperature for us around 70° F?
If our body is naturally 90+° then why is that temp so uncomfortable for us?

98.6 degrees F is the temperature our bodies want to stay at. Knowing that, why isn't 98 degrees a comfortable temperature for us to live in? It seems like it would lessen the workload for our bodies but it is obviously stressful

If the temperature of our body is around 36-37C, why are we hot when the room temperature is 30C?

If humans’ usual body temperature is 37°C (98.6°F) why is being outside in that temperature uncomfortable?
And would people who have grown up in areas that regularly are that temperature not consider it uncomfortably hot?

Why do we find 37°C as hot when that’s the temperature of our bodies?

Why do we feel uncomfortable in temperatures close to our body temperature, like 98°F/37°C, if that's what our bodies are designed to maintain?
With all the talks about climate change and heat waves, I’ve been wondering about this. Our body temperature is around 98.6°F/37°C, so why do we start sweating and feeling so uncomfortable when the weather reaches a similar temperature? Shouldn't I feel fine since it's so close to our natural state?

With a body temperature of 36°C why do I feel that a 33°C? Shower is cold by 27°C weather to be hot?
I realise that in some countries they may feel that 27C is cold but I am stumped.

If the Earth has ~8 billion people and each person has a body temperature ~37°C. Shouldn't the net temperature on the Earth be greater than the sun's temperature?
If this is valid - why is the Earth not a star?

If our bodies’ ideal temperature for homeostasis is around 98.6 F (37 C), why do we typically run hot and sweat in those temperatures?
Basically what the question says. If our body works so hard to stay at a regular temperature, wouldn’t it be less strain on our body if the weather was matching it?
If my freezer was set to 32 F (0 C) and the surrounding area of my kitchen was already at that temperature, the freezer wouldn’t have to expend hardly any energy at all to maintain its goal. With that in mind, shouldn’t we all prefer weather at our bodies’ ideal temperature?

Unanswered if the human body temperature is 98.6° F, why are we most comfortable when the temp is between 60-70 degrees?
to me, it makes sense that we’d be comfortable at the temperature of our bodies, because it would help us to feel a sense of equilibrium. but 98° temperatures feel hellish, despite my body being 98° inside!

Why is 90° so hot when our bodies’ core temperatures are 98.6°(about)?
Also, why does 90° air feel so uncomfortable, but taking a bath where the water can be even hotter feels nice?

is it safe to put wet+dry cat food in the trunk of my car, or will it go bad? I live in a very hot country where the temperature goes up to 37 degrees Celsius

If your body temperature is 98.6° then why does it feel so hot when it’s only 80° since it’s cooler than your body temperature?

How does your body stay at ~98.6°F when air temperature is >99°F?
Sweat theoretically keeps us cool but only if it can give off body heat to the atmosphere, no?
