Body temperature includes skin temperature, by extension. Body temperature can be affected by multiple factors, not just internal, but also external... Any and all sources I looked into mention the ~36 degree that a body’s internal temperature needs to be in order to function when I searched “ body temperature ”. When discussing a body’s external temperature I found the keyword "skin " added, and it even mentioned how it reacts to the external environment, case in point:



"The normal temperature of skin is about 33 °C or 91 °F.  The flow of energy to and from the skin determines our sense of hot and cold . Heat flows from higher to lower temperature, so the human skin will not drop below that of surrounding air, regardless of wind. If a person was to be in a warm room and her skin temperature was cooler than the air, her skin temperature would rise. The opposite would happen in a cold room and warm skin temperature. The person's temperature would decrease. Humans fight air temperature by becoming warm or cold. When warm, they sweat. When cold, they get chills ."

If your reservation is in the fact he can tap into the semblance when ill (feel cold when he really isn’t), than your description still does not fully describe what the semblance does, as it’s less important how cold or hot it really is, but how cold or hot the user thinks it is. All in all you can either add the keyword skin in there, which adds more clarity to the description, reword it to cover the fact the effect is virtually entirely mental, or do nothing…but really, I don’t think my requests are THAT unreasonable.
