Apparently there are some lunatics who go above 100C in saunas - sometimes they die. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10912578 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ma

  Well, the article is about a first time someone died in a competitive "world championship" thing with constantly humidified 100+C air with a race about who can tolerate it the longest. Probably people die in saunas all the time in countries where it's popular, like they sometimes do when eating, walking, or sleeping or watching tv.

  It really depends on the type of sauna, local customs, and even then there is still quite a large range due to individual preferences. 80 degrees C would generally be the hotter end of spectrum. Some go as low as 40 degrees C
