LOL. I don't live in a hot climate? How about the middle east? Does that sound hot enough? I grew up living in a tent. A literal tent until I was about 20, then my father decided to build a house. Then that house had no power until 2008. And our weather there can get to 130+ easily. So, imagine that heat. Imagine how getting into a car would feel. Here is a photo I took of a thermometer I took in June of 2009. It was around 1 pm. I was on a military base that day. It won't kill you, you will be fine. Open your windows and wait outside a little so you don't melt. lol

doubtful if that thermometer worked well.

40+ °C is dangerous and can be lethal, but of course not immediately, instead as your body heats up
