134 F (56.6 Celcius) with 25% humidity, which calculates to a dewpoint of 86 F.
I have no idea what heat index that is.
That's the temperature when I left my weather station transmitter on the first row bench, about 2 feet off the ground and several feet away from the elements. (to avoid a false reading)
I then tried checking the temperature of the top bench which is maybe 5.5 feet up (there are three rows of benches, stacked like bleechers) and I got a reading as high as 59.4 Celcuis (139 F) before my transmitter quit working.
I figure on the top bench where I usually like to sit is normally between 60-65 Celcius, which converts to 140-149 F.
While checking it temperature, my transmitter took about 20-25 minutes to warm up and get a stable reading. After maxing out my transmitter I removed it from the sauna and put it back in my locker.
Disappointed that I couldn't get a reading for the top bench and though thoroughly oily I had not had my fill of heat, I went back in for another 10-15 minutes. Total time in the sauna roughly 35-40 minutes without additional water (I had a few gulps before I went in) at an average temperature of exposure between 135-145 F.
It felt good, however should I stayed in another 10 minutes I might have developed a headache. I do not know if that would be from the heat or dehydration.
*I know this might be a boring read for most people, perhaps to wordy or detailed, but I added this in case anyone was interested. I figure most people might be interested in the temperatures "this lunatic" () finds pleasant.
Hmmm, sounds like you'd love Florida or most of Texas. Heck, anywhere south of southern Illinois would suit your bill. lol Disgusting. Have you ever thought about getting your head checked? j/k
Its nice to dream about it and experience it for a few days, but to live in that crap? Its hell. Literally. Looks and feels just like Hell!
I've never experienced it outdoors, so the maximum temperature of any surface I've felt is probably 150 F. I hear the desert floor in parts of West Texas often hit 160 F in summer. I can imagine if there are dust particles in the air, it might sting a little when they touch your skin. Or the hot sheet metal of a car.
Actually, the best possible summer temperatures would be no days below 85 F, no morning lows below 68 F, but usually below 80 F before sunrise.
My most favorite afternoon range is 85-95 F, with or without humidity.
It's just cool enough spend all day in the sun without worry, yet warm enough being cold is an impossibility.
Go to south west Fla. Just got back yesterday, it was 80-85 everyday with a breeze in Feb. and humidity.. Only subtropical place in the US.. You'll never be cold

Tara, glad to hear that you made it back. I hope the interview went well. Do you suppose you'll be able to survive the next few months of winter in the Northeast or are you moving now?

lol yeah made it back fine He got the job, but he has more testing to do before we move, we're thinking around april we'll be outta here, mayyybee a bit later, but by june we're leaving for sure.
I've experienced like 45C in the car on a ~25C day (sunheated). Assuming humidity ~40% its a 28C dewpoint and 63C heat index.
