Cold Canadian, you'll probably be surprised, but the hottest I've ever experienced was 105 in Toronto sometime in the late 90s. And it was also the worst humidity I've ever felt, and I've been to the deep south in the middle of the summer. It was so hazy you couldn't see the CN Tower from a couple of blocks away. You would have loved it! Most of that vacation was spent in the hotel or other places indoors.
The 2nd worst was 104 and very humid in Washington DC in August 2008. That was more miserable because we had just one day there and were walking everywhere to see the sights.
This is the first thing I thought of when I saw this forum
Saunas generally range from 80C/176F to 100C/212F
Steam rooms can get as hot as 46C/115F with 100% humidity.. those are some real heat index values
They generally do not go much beyond 60C, I have taken an accurate calibrated thermometer into plenty of saunas and spas.
In the old days, many saunas actually had thermometers on the wall which showed similar readings.
Unfortunatley, like squash courts, they have died in popularity.
Well that's not true is it, the heat index would be absolutely ridiculous. It would be about 200F!!!!
That high a temp with that much humidity is impossible in nature. No way in hell. Temp and humidity that high can only be man-made, like in a sauna
