Very very creative way to dodge a question. So, one more time, if -40C is more tolerable than 40C, why do you freak out over your alleged polar icy 20C sunny westerlies so much? I would like to know the rationale behind this (without looking like a pervert stalker apparently)?

Um, why did the terms change from 45 C to 50 C? There is a pretty huge difference there.

I've been in 45 C multiple times and I can assure everyone who has never experienced such a temperature that they will not die if they are well hydrated and they just sit there. If you are nude, you will get badly burned pretty quickly, but if you have some protection from the sun and plenty of water, you will be hot and uncomfortable but not die ever.

Because -40 C is very extreme and 45 C not to extreme as 50 C. Yes I 've been once at 45 C. It was uncomfortable to walk, I was sweating too much, I had headache but I am still alive. I don't know how it will feel if it is 50 C as in Kuwait or Ahwaz etc...

Yeah, minus 40 for me too.

Maybe -30 vs 45? Or -40 vs 50?

45 would be the temperature of a relaxing sauna.
water freezes at 0 so i think -40 would kill people after many minutes.

This is probably the most intelligent post I've ever seen in my life.

I'd rather deal with 45 C than -40 C. I've experienced a dry 41 C and it was uncomfortable, but I didn't feel like I was going to die of heatstroke or anything.

On the other hand, I've been outside at -10 C and it felt like I would get frostbite if it were too much colder (say -20 C).

such scenario is surely impossible. to compare both indicated temperatures would not happen on a climate that i know of.
