In the second half of your cycle, after ovulation, your core body temperature runs around half a degree higher.

In a small study of 8 women, researchers sat women in a 41 degree room for 40 minutes and measured them in both phases. In the luteal phase, that second half, they sweated more from the forehead, forearm and thigh, and had more blood flow to the skin. The men tested alongside them showed no change between sessions, so it looks hormonal rather than environmental.

It was a small study and the wider research isn't fully settled. Some work suggests sweating actually starts at a slightly higher temperature in the luteal phase. What's well established is the temperature shift itself.

In practice it means the sauna can feel quite different depending on where you are in your month, and that's normal.

Some weeks you'll sweat sooner, some weeks it takes longer. Next time you're in there, take note of where you are in your cycle. It's useful information about your own body.
