100C would send you to the burn unit. I think you mean 100F. Edit: 100C is boiling point for water - is the ambient temp of the Sauna 100C?

- wongarsu 9y agoI'm thinking of finnish-style saunas, which operate at 60 to 100 °C [1] (with 100°C being a frequent option). You usually stay in them 10-15 min at a time, but I guess if you keep hydrated you could stay a lot longer. Finnish saunas are kept very dry. Sufficiently dry air makes very hot temperatures bearable because evaporation cooling from sweat gets more effective the dryer the surrounding air is. Water on the other hand makes sweating useless, which is why you can't tolerate water temperatures above body temperature (depending on how much of you is submerged). 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_sauna#Types_of_sauna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_sauna#Types_of_sauna
