The temperatures above are wrong. A human cannot survive for more than a few seconds in those temperatures. 230F causes second degree burns in a few seconds and the core temp of the human body would rise to levels causing death within a few seconds.

I'm used to the heat and can ignore just about anything if I put my mind to it.

I feel like this is a Finnish competition. Aren't they famous for their saunas?

I wouldn't enter that contest. It will kill your brain cells, since the high humidity means that sweating will be ineffective at cooling the body, and the brain will overheat and start to die. The body will fail rapidly when it reaches 108 degrees internally.

"The sauna is 110°C / 230°F and they pour 1/2 liter of water on the rocks every 30 seconds."

I can tolerate almost any weather, my biggest thing is having been raised in Arizona, I can't tolerate non-dry/humid weather.

Don't like the heat unless I'm doing something outside (swimming or some other activity). Don't like to sweat that bad either.

I've done the sauna thing in college, but not to this extreme of heat. However I also lasted a whole lot longer than 15 minutes.

I could totally handle that, I live in very humid, high 90 degree weather most of the year. And I'm a runner. You get the point.

What's the current record?

As long as I was allowed to have water to drink, I could handle it for some hours.

Once the body temperature reaches one hundred five degrees F heat stroke sets in. I think temps as high as 230 are not needed, not healthy, and are potentially very dangerous. Some folks have to learn the hard way though.
