At what water temperature does hypothermia set in?
Assume an average size, average build adult male, naked, no movement. What is the water temperature above which hypothermia never occurs? I have not been able to find information on this. The answer 98.6°F is obviously wrong as hypothermia doesn't necessarily occur if the water is colder than the human body. It just has to be cold enough to rob body heat faster than it is produced. Besides I know lots of people who got heat exhaustion in the 95 degree waters of the Arabian Gulf in August.
