40 ain't dangerously hot. Temperature reaches 50°C in some parts of the world.

35°C with 100% humidity can be fatal to humans

46°C with 50% humidity can be fatal to humans

Humans can not survive for extended lengths at these temperatures and humidities.

Saying "40 ain't dangerously hot" is dumb.

It can reach almost 50C right here in the US, even.

56.7° C is the hottest temperature ever recorded. It was in the US.
