So, How normal is that a person has average body temperature of 36.1°C?
Well, normal body temperature for me is 35.5-36.8°C....
My body temperature rarely goes over 36.8°C or is lower than 35.5°C
Actualy, normaly it is 35.8°C on the mornings it is always ~36.7°C
but how normal is this?

Well, I've heard that the normal average is sumthing like ~37°C...

well... on average, the human body temperature is somewhere between 36.5°C-37°C, or even up t 37.5°C for newborn babies / infants / toddlers.

Your body temperature is a bit lower than normal, but not into "mild hypothermia" low, that's below 35°C. Probably it's a slight adaptation to the cold; it's easier to maintain a steady 36°C than 36.7°C since less calories are consumed. Still, if you notice any other symptoms related or not to hypothermia you should see a doctor for a more in-depth examination (especially the thyroid gland).

My first question is what kind of thermometer did you use? The digital ones are known to sometimes report lower temperatures erroneously. Use a mercury-based one if you haven't already.
