To be fair it is an American news story about something happening in the US. But it should be proper procedure to write “100 degrees F” or something similar, just to denote the unit being used (adding a parenthesis with the converted C units after the F is too much to ask, I know).
US Customary. Temperature is the same as in Imperial, but fluid volume isn’t and the survey foot was different up until January 1st 2023 when the government changed to use the international foot.
I don’t think humans can live in that very long either. 38 degrees is the temperature you have when you have a fever. I’m pretty sure if you expose yourself to that for a while you will die. Maybe a doctor can verify this, but it doesn’t sound good at all.

Humans have been living in places like the Sahara, which is even hotter, for millennia. It’s uncomfortable and requires adaptation but it’s perfectly doable.
This is Fahrenheit, right? So ~38.3º Celsius.
If it was Celsius the sea would be boiling.
USA and their fixation with imperial 😂

TIL there’s an international foot. Which is probably only used by the US, I suppose?
Yeah, and muricans wont admit their own issues
What… … … … Why is it soo warm? Iirc sea animals can’t live with temperatures like that!?

You won’t survive even 24 hours in a 100°F hot tub 🤣.
I think I misunderstood the comment that I replied to. Sorry about that. 🤷
You can survive in a hot tub at much higher temperatures for hours, and people do it because they enjoy it.
