Does any of us have the experience to know what 98º would feel like

I spent a couple summers in Phoenix. Temperatures typically over 100
degrees. It didn't actually feel "hot" in the sense of having an impact on
me until the temperatures reached 120 degrees. Under 100 was quite
comfortable. Mind you, you couldn't TOUCH anything in that heat, and a wind
made for an interesting experience at 120 degrees, but as long as you stayed
hydrated, you could move around comfortably.
