What is the hottest temperature that a human can survive without dying? I’ve heard people are in certain parts of California and it 122 degrees Ferenheit. Is it physically possible for a human body to withstand that type of heat?

Temperature only tells you about the average speed of the particles of the medium you’re in. If you were at a low enough pressure, you’d be fine even if the temperature was thousands of Kelvin (provided you have an oxygen mask). Then, however, an extremely low pressure could kill you as well by forming bubbles in your blood and what not.

There are too many variables in this scenario to be able to give a meaningful answer
