It’s not the temperature that’s terrifying, it’s the humidity. I can do 104F, I’ve seen it hit 109F at my house, but that’s with California humidity so at least sweating still works.

To the South, Himalayas have mainly subtropical lands and even some of the wettest regions on the plants and to the North, a vast desolate desert
