A floating emissive probe has been used to obtain the spatial electron temperature (Te) profile in a 13.56 MHz parallel plate capacitive coupled plasma. The effect of an external transverse magnetic field and pressure on the electron temperature profile has been discussed. In the un-magnetised case, the bulk region of the plasma has a uniform Te. Upon application of the magnetic field, the Te profile becomes non-uniform and skewed.  With increase in pressure, there is an overall reduction in electron temperature. The regions adjacent to the electrodes witnessed a higher temperature than the bulk for both cases. The emissive probe results have also been compared with particle-in-cell simulation results for the un-magnetised case.
