    What is the highest ambient temperature that can be tolerated by human beings?

    		Body temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) are life-threatening. At 41 °C (106 °F), brain death begins, and at 45 °C (113 °F) death is nearly certain. Internal temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) will cause rigidity in the muscles and certain, immediate death.

    		Appreciate the info, but I wanted to know about AMBIENT temperatures. Internal temperature can be affected by mant different factors, including hydration levels. But under optimal conditions, what temperature can the human body tolerate?
