I'm all for pedantry, but any human metaphor is clearly referring to a human perspective, and it's very reasonable to call any temperature that is too high to sustain human life hot.

That's not a metaphor, it's a comparison, which is when you state a difference between two things.

Saying that your love burns hot is a metaphor, because love does not burn. The comparison is irrelevant.
