No, a hot room alone cannot raise your body temperature. Your body temperature is regulated by your internal mechanisms, specifically the hypothalamus in the brain, which maintains your core temperature within a narrow range.

When you are in a hot room, your body will try to cool itself through processes such as sweating and increasing blood flow to the skin. These mechanisms help dissipate heat from your body to the surrounding environment, preventing your body temperature from rising excessively.

However, prolonged exposure to a hot environment can still have an impact on your body. If the heat in the room is extremely high or if the environment is humid, it can hinder your body's ability to cool down efficiently. In such cases, your body may struggle to regulate its temperature, and you might experience symptoms of heat stress, such as feeling excessively hot, sweating profusely, feeling weak or fatigued, or even developing heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

It's important to stay hydrated, seek cooler environments when possible, and take breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas to prevent your body from overheating in hot rooms or environments.
