    34°C is at best 3 degrees away from regular body temperature which, and this might come as a shock to you, means that the body’s built-in ability to regulate its temperature is already severely degraded. That is also not taking into account that, as other commenters mentioned, the temperatures in the sun can easily reach 40°C, which also BTW, is when cell lifespans in the body start plummeting.

    All that to say: the mortality rates during summer aligning with the temperature disagree with your take.
