the article is a bit misleading, actual temp was 42.5C, 58C was the felt temperature. which is still absurdly hot, but that is quite a difference
Ultimately what really matters is wet bulb temperature. When the combination of hit and humidity hits the point where the body can no longer cool itself by sweating, then people just die.
Brb, my sauna is finally at 100°C.
