I suppose Celsius and 90 is a poetic exaggeration for 35+, while 30 being realistic for inside a stone-building mid-summer in Italy.

Alternatively, Fahrenheit, and 90 is realistic for outdoors mid-summer in Italy and 30 is a poetic exaggeration for ~80 inside a stone-building. If meant literally, the holy water would freeze inside the cathedral. Besides, nobody uses Fahrenheit in Europe, but poetic exaggeration is common.

I've never heard of anyone proclaim 30 deg c as being "so chill". Also much hotter than what I would expect a cathedral to be.

But then again, I am sensitive to heat.
