So, interesting story here. I remember one day in Iraq we were told that the temperature was 140F/60C!!!!!
After reading these few posts about the temps where you are, I did some research. What I found was pretty interesting: Explanation
Anywho... 50C is hot! That feeling when you open an oven to put something in and you get that rush of heat at you? That's how it feels just walking around. Our water was always hot so we'd soak our socks, put a water bottle in them, and tie them to the rear view mirror just so we could drink 'warm' water and not 'boiling' water.
This ~50C is only around here where I live. The central areas gets some exceptional days with temps around 60C!
Speaking about feelings, I fear taking showers or just washing my private parts after relieving, ehm, in the middle of the day. I don't wanna end up boiled. Well the latter happened before and I walked like penguin after that
Where I grew up (Southern California), the hottest day on record was 112F/44.4C
The record in the whole U.S. is 134F/56.6C occurring in Death Valley (near where I grew up). It is named so because of the heat there. The valley is actually below sea level which makes the air insanely thick with the heat.
I can live with a max 44.4C
Yeah, other factors make a difference too. Next city 70km away where I work, temps are lower than where I live for like 5C, but the humidity near the coast is crazy. +40C where I live is much more tolerable, to an extent, than below 35C over there!
