It is the AIR that is at 110C - chucking water on the stones
actually cools the room for a while, but it feels hotter due to
increased humidity as in Turkish baths.



Ah right, I misread the earlier post and assumes bath to refer to a tub
of water. Surely most people refer to it just as "a sauna" or maybe
sauna room?

Well, a Turkish bath is the same as a sauna, but with 30% humidity
instead of 0%.

I would assume a Turkish bath/steam room to have a humidity approaching
100%, in fact it's more than an assumption, a quick google search
verifies that.

Sauna is 100% humidity

Wrong - if it was, you would be literally boiled alive.

"A sauna is a room made from softwood and incorporates a heater €” either electric or wood-burning €” that is capable of reaching 190° Fahrenheit and up. An average healthy individual can tolerate that kind of heat because it is a dry environment with extremely low humidity."
