60 degrees C is a lot above a really hot Mediterranean summer day. Average temp is 33 degrees in the hottest summer months, and in extremes it may be 40 degrees Celsius. 60 degrees would therefore be almost twice as hot as average or 50% hotter than even the hottest days. Also 60 degrees Celsius would mean it made an appearance here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth#:~:text=The%20current%20official%20highest%20registered,Valley%20in%20the%20United%20States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_temperature_recorded.... Given that the highest recorded air temperature on earth is 56.7 degrees, you may wish to revise your last sentence.

> 60 degrees C is a lot above a really hot Mediterranean summer day. Average temp is 33 degrees in the hottest summer months, and in extremes it may be 40 degrees Celsius. I was thinking 40 degrees. Given "average" isn't implied by "really hot", I'd say your 40 degree figure falls in line with what I had in mind. But you're right that it's still a big jump to 60 degrees. Maybe I shouldn't have put vague comparisons in my post because it's rather distracting from the core point that the GP got their Celsius and Fahrenheit mixed up.
