And Bobby knew this shit like 20 years ago. It regularly gets into the low 100s in July and August in that region. It's not so terribly bad since it's dry heat, especially when there is wind. Arizona isn't even the highest risk area. The biggest issue in the US wet-bulb temps in the southeast.

What's that in real temperature units?

If you are discussing the affects of temperature on humans, you should use a human centric temperature scale, so I'd say that is already the appropriate unit.
