This is a common misconception, but you don't need to add or subtract anything.
Normal Temperatures are 98.6 degrees orally, 99.6 degrees rectally, or 97.6 degrees axillary. It is normal for temperatures to vary up or down one degree and to run higher in the evening.

How is the Celsius temperature scale set up?
The Celsius degree uses the boiling and freezing temperature as a base for indicating temperature. 0 degrees Celsius is the temperature at which water freezes and boils at a 100 degrees Celsius. The kelvin degree has the same "amount" of heat between each degree but uses the absolute coldest point as zero (-275 C and -463 F). To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius you subtract 38 and divide by 1.8 ( (F-38)/1.8=C) and Celsius to Fahrenheit you take C*1.8+38. The Fahrenheit degree uses human body temperature as base which is approximately 37-38 C and 100 F.
Can the temperature be measured by keeping the thermometer at some place other than the mouth?
You can take a temperature by placing the thermometer in the armpit, when you get the reading add a degree and that is the temp you would have gotten if you had done it orally. 98.6 is the normal human temp but we all very slightly.
Is a temperature measured through the mouth of a dog inaccurate?
It is not the best method of measuring body temperature. Dogs don't sweat to reduce their body heat, but they evaporate water they breath out through their mouth to reduce temperature (panting) This means that the mouth temperature is constantly changing depending on whether the dog is panting. It is more accurate to take temperature from inside the anus.

How do you calculate the subcooling in HVAC?
To calculate subcooling in HVAC, you need to measure the liquid line temperature and pressure. First, convert the pressure into temperature using a temperature-pressure chart. Subtract the liquid line temperature from the converted temperature to calculate the subcooling. Subcooling is important to ensure the liquid refrigerant leaving the condenser is cooler than its saturation point to prevent the formation of flash gas in the metering device.
