⟩ What are the lowest and highest temperatures humans can survive?

Being in cold temperature air with proper shelter and clothing, humans can survive indefinitely, even if the temperature is below zero degrees. However, a person in regular clothing immersed in water just above freezing will last only a few minutes.

As for heat: A sauna can reach temperatures of close to 200 degrees, but since the air is around 10% humidity, it actually feels comfortable and has many healing properties. However, if the air is 90% humidity, then the safe temperature is more like around 110 degrees.

So maybe a better question to ask is at what temperature and humidity combinations are humans capable of surviving?
