Any object with a temperature emits corresponding EM waves.
Thermal imaging works by considering our temperature of 37C/98.4F/310K, and it corresponds to 9.3um LWIR as per Wien's law.
I was thinking about the following summer scenarios in which how it would work.
1) If the atmospheric temperature is at the same 37C, human beings and all surroundings are at the same temperature. Would we be able to see a person using thermal imaging?
2) Even higher air temperature, let us say at 40C/104F, human beings might have lower temperature than the surroundings because of sweating. Would we be able to see a person still?
