Yeah. Where I used to live, 28C was bang on perfect. My new part of the world which is more inland and dry, it felt like that at 43. I would never had known if someone hadn’t mentioned “record heat”.
I’ve been in 52 in dessert and it’s more like an oven, much less like a sauna. It’s “interesting”. I’ve been in 48C in a humid climate and it the heat felt ois so, so, so much worse, most people wouldn’t understand it unless experienced. It feels genuinely lethal and people definitely do die in their homes.
