Also in dry air evaporation cooling is very effective, so sweating gets rid of a lot of the heat before it can build up in your body

If you are talking dry air, then how does this apply to wet saunas at 100 degrees?
afaik there are no humid saunas nearly that hot. You'd have a miserable time in there and even breathing would hurt like hell.
Exactly, so here we are talking about dry 100C saunas in replies to someone claiming that Finns sit in wet 100C saunas every week. I find it hard to believe. Humidity makes a massive difference.
