A severe heatwave is ongoing in Europe. Temperature records broken in France, Switzerland, Germany and Spain.
On 11 July 2023, the Land Surface Temperature (LST) in some areas of Extremadura (Spain) exceeded 60°C, as highlighted in this data visualisation derived from measurements from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instrument. The ongoing heatwave in Spain this week is resulting in a total of 13 autonomous communities, being at extreme risk (red alert), significant risk (orange alert), and risk (yellow alert) due to maximum temperatures that, in some cases, will exceed 40°C and reach a maximum of 43°C.
For reference, “in areas where vegetation is dense, the land surface temperature never rises above 35°C. The hottest land surface temperatures on Earth are in plant-free desert landscapes.”
I always hate these comments, and this is a whole new level.

TL;DR: You’d probably freeze to death if the local temperature suddenly became -30C.
I’m not sure if the OP edited it or not, but it sounds like you’re assuming they’re saying something more than they are. They never said “we’re all going to die”. They’re just pointing out that it’s also a very high surface temp in Arizona, which is nearly exactly the surface temp the title states in Spain.

*130 f is 54c. Very hot but not boiling water hot.
