And what it does is it increases the temperature of the environment within our capillaries. Now, by increasing the temperature of our solution, we ultimately affect the affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. Because the hemoglobin is now at a higher temperature, it's moving at a higher kinetic energy. So that means it's not able to hold the oxygen as well as before. And what that means is more of that oxygen will be released by the hemoglobin into the blood, and more of that oxygen will end up in the cells of our tissue. So just like decreasing the PH, increasing the temperature will also shift the oxygen hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right side, as seen in the following diagram.
