The bath or shower should be at a temperature of 39-41°C (102-106°F). Much less than this and the survivor's body will continue cooling, even if the water feels "warm". If you do not have a thermometer, dip your bare elbow in the water: the heat will be tolerable at about the correct temperature, but not above it.
