Not my experience. I spent some 4 months at Goa in India, and it was usually around 40°C. I rented a bicycle there and rode it for distances of over 100 km in a day. And I did not sweat.
That temperature should not be a problem for a person living in an area where that’s a common temperature. And if it’s not a common temperature, then it’s not common, and it’s not really a problem to have to pay the taxi if you need to go to an important meeting precisely on the one scorching hot day :)
I was assuming from the context that it would translate to more like 50°C or so.
It’s impolite to use only Fahrenheits on an international forum. Most readers won’t be able to make heads or tails of “103 degrees”, so a person posting on an international forum should definitely bother checking what that’s in Celcius. It’s much less work for the person writing the text to check that than thousand individual readers checking the same thing on Google.
If it’s somehow “okay” to ignore the 95 % of the world that has no idea of Fahrenheit, then it is similarly okay to be as if Fahrenheit didn’t exist.
I simply let the impolite person taste his own medicine. And no, I still don’t know if “103 degrees” equals 30°C, 45°C or 55°C. But the description “very uncomfortably hot” is absolutely enough to get what the person was talking about. So, some temperature that is unusual where the person writing the comment lives.
If you were in a car you wouldn’t be hot. 103 is very hot, not safe for old people to be outside for very long. It’s 103 degrees, so quite hot
“103 degrees” means that it’s hot enough for water to boil. Water boils at 100 degrees, unless you’re deep underground.
But okay, it sounds like that’s a very rare temperature, then?
There are two types of people in the world:
— Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data sets
bro you know what units I’m using, don’t be obtuse
It’s about 40° C
Yeah, at that temp, just standing outside will make you sweat.

are you this dense on purpose?
Heh.
