WatermanThe difference between the lowest Tb value recorded (33.39°C at 19:08) and the highest Tb during the previous day (39.32°C at 16:08) was 5.93°C. Over the 23 week period, extreme changes in Tb included one individual that decreased in Tb by 5.56°C and another that increased in Tb by 5.98°C in one hour.
