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.
With 50 per cent humidity, it would take a base temperature of 45C to reach those sorts of heat index levels. But crank the humidity up to 100 per cent, and it starts to feel like 77C when the mercury hits 35C. âYou can go to a wet sauna and put the temperature up to 35 (Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit) or so.
