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?

Just to let you know:
The *Turkish bath* (Hammam) is very humid (near 100% humidity), with relatively low temperatures, from 100°F to 120°C.
A *Finnish sauna* is a type of sauna that harnesses the power of dry heat. The temperature in sauna typically set around 180ºF-220ºF, while the humidity is typically kept around 5-20%.
Once I spent around 20 mins in Finish sauna with the temperature set at 223ºF (*not kidding!!!*). I was totally fine, just felt myself maybe a little exhausted 🙂
And there is a *Russian banya*: combination of the worst from above – quite *high humidity* (around 60-70%) with *high temperature* (140ºF-160ºF). Well, in this humid condition 160ºF feels much worse than 220ºF in Finish sauna.
