Exactly. And 100 degrees is what a good sauna should be. Maybe I could go as low as 80, but 50 is absolutely pointless.

Are we talking about the ambient temperature in the room or something else? Cause room temperature at 100c is immediately life threatening.

It isn’t. The air being 100 degrees and dry isn’t the same as pouring 100 degree water on yourself. You’re only sitting there for like 15-20 minutes. Ask any Finn and I guarantee you that 100 degrees is what you aim for.

Granted, it was 110c, but it was also only 6 minutes at that temp for Vladimir Ladyzhensky to die. I stand by my statement. 100c air temperature is immediately life threatening.
