The humidity is the issue. Wet-bulb temperatures exceeding body temperature means sweating no longer cools you off.
That's why steam rooms peak at ~110 and saunas at ~150. A steam room at 110 is almost unbearably hot, it's hard to last more than 5 or 10 minutes in one.
Think about a human having a fever of 108—that's the temperature at which you'd start to have convulsions.
