    That's about 49C for you metric types.

    Even the night temperatures would be unpleasant.

    It was 105 here and I was working outside all day. What difference does 15 degrees make?

    A huge amount of difference. Dry 105F is about the upper limit for me. You feel the difference even going to 110, and that is after 18 years of N SLO county summers where 100-105 is common and unremarkable. 115 is just an unremitting furnace. I haven't gone any higher than 117 but didn't find it the most agreeable.

    The difference is exponential.

    That was sarcasm.
    The hottest I have experienced was working landscaping for a week when it was about 110 every day. My body eventually got used to it and stopped bitching at me, didn't really notice it much. I always feel the hottest when transitioning from spring to summer.

    I have experienced 120-130 getting into a closed car and it feels like the air temperature is burning my skin.
