it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.
Dare I say, unbearably so.

I’m all for pedantry, but any human metaphor is clearly referring to a human perspective, and it’s very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.

30°C in the summer is hot. I want my winter NOW. GET ME OUT
It’s 30° in winter here.
Comments like this make .me angry even though I know you can’t actually make it happen
The silly thing is comparing the ‘temperature’ of one’s love to it. I mean I get poetic overstatement and I get his idea is to melt the heart of his woman of desire, however this is maybe a bit too literal.

You certainly don’t need 5700k to do that. Garden variety Summer is enough, every year.
That’s not a metaphor, it’s a comparison, which is when you state a difference between two things.
Saying that your love burns hot is a metaphor, because love does not burn.
Oh, good point.
What if love had a spicy burrito for lunch?
Then it remains a metaphorical burrito.

500 Kelvin is a hot oven that severely burns you if you touch the tray directly. 1000 K is a nice campfire. 1500 K is the upper end of Magma. 2500 K is beyond normal blast furnace temperatures.
5000 Kelvin is ridiculously hot.
