Not much if you're talking in Fahrenheit! If you were dressed appropriately and left outside, 0F would have a much better chance of killing you than 109F would.
That's what I call significant - a mailbox melting, although obviously it was a weak one to begin with (mailboxes in Phoenix need to be stronger than that).
In other news in Tennessee Smyrna reached 112F yesterday, which nearly tied their all-time record high of 113F set the previous day. For a few hours in the early morning, Smyrna was the hottest point on the surface of the planet. Mecca and other parts of the Middle East were hotter that day, but at the time it was late evening there. So congratulations to Smyrna and Tennessee - briefly the world's top inferno .

That's not a fact.. perhaps it is time for people on this forum to stop stating opinions as if they are facts outright?
Assuming one is dressed for the weather, 109F won't do anything to the flesh of a human being. Well, aside from mild symptoms like sweating and paleness. Ditto for 0F. 0F won't do anything to the flesh of a human being at all, aside from mild symptoms like a stuffy nose and chapped skin. In fact I'd say the risk of getting heat stroke at 109F is much higher than getting hypothermia at 0F, assuming you're dressed properly, but the entire discussion is really moot, seeing as both conditions are overwhelmingly non-fatal and many heat and cold lovers enjoy 109F and 0F, respectively.
109°F is about exactly the highest temperature I have ever experienced (in Delhi) and it certainly did feel uncomfortable. I am not sure how anyone can truly enjoy it. However I don't think it can have any serious effect on your health provided that you are dressed adequately and drink enough water.
