You didn't read properly, I was specifically talking about high humidity. That's the situation the monkeys who have died were in. Temperatures feel completely different based on the humidity - 35°C at 100% humidity is equivalent to 71°C at 0% humidity.

Ok, yeah I agree about the humidity aspect; that's an insane temperature for any living creature.

But I never said I can stay in 40+ degrees with high humidity either.

I never said that you said so. I was simply telling you why the monkeys died at "only 37°C", and why you wouldn't enjoy 44°C in comparable conditions.

Sure, fair enough
