A suitable sauna temperature is between 60C and 100C. You can choose the sauna temperature you enjoy most. The humidity of the sauna air is regulated by good fresh air and throwing water on the hot stones: the water changes into smooth invisible steam and increases the humidity. This is called the lyly. Note: a sauna is NOT a steam bath. Saunas in North America achieve 194 degrees Farenheit (90 C) with a fairly low humidity. Even adding water onto the sauna rocks will rarely raise the relative humidity (RH) over 20%. Most homes have a normal humidity level of 40-60%, or even higher.
as for heat a sauna can reach temperatures of close to 200 degrees but since the air is around 10 % humidity it actually feels comfortable and has many healing properties but if the air is 90 % humidity then the safe temperature is more like around 110 degrees bodies internal temp can only survive up to 108f it starts to die around 105f which is when the proteins inside the body begin to cook apart as far as the coldest the human body can get is in the 70 sf and potentially lower depending on the time spent at the temp
