There is also a difference between a single temperature reading somewhere and an official measured temperature.

June 2012, Central Ohio. 99F degrees with 68F dew point, and sunny. Heart rate near max even at a shuffle.
Jan 2014, Central Ohio, -5F degrees and windy giving wind chill of -28F.
The cold run was more enjoyable.
44 °C in Italy August 2017 at 3 PM
The only solution was running shirtless with only split shorts and no underwear
I've done plenty of 90+ runs with the humidity pushing the heat index to 100+. It's miserable and slow.
But the worst was the time it was 19 degrees out and I way overdressed. The only time I've ever nearly had a heat stroke.
regularly over 95 in the summers. Most days dew point 70-75.
In SC where I live, I regularly run afterschool in temperatures in the upper 90s with the heat index as high as 120. Upper 90s and 90% humidity is rough but properly hydrated, it is doable.
106 degrees in Thailand with a crazy amount of high humidity.
121°F in Badwater, Death Valley for 3 miles.
112°F in Apache Junction, Arizona for 12 miles.
Hottest?

Coldest?
-27°F in Hermantown, Minnesota for 7 miles.
Wind Chill coldest was -70°F in Duluth, Minnesota for 6 miles.
I far preferred the hot ones to the cold ones.
My fastest marathon was 95 degrees at the finish, and my 4th fastest was 98 degrees.
The hottest that I recall it being was after a 10 mile run in Tucson, and a guy from England was freaking out.
He said, "do you realize it's 110?" I hadn't thought anything about it and felt great.
118 in 29 Palms, CA.
I could feel myself getting sunburn through my shirt.

It also never happened you lying POS. Upper 95F and 90% humidity would be a dew point of 92F and a heat index of 147F.

100 plus in Portland Oregon
100 plus in Oregon is not a problem. It's the dry heat. Done it many times.
With that said, I've run a 5 mile race in Roseburg, on a hot, humid morning in 1985. At 8am it was as least 90 ° and East coast humid. Ken Martin and I went at it and I remember during the race recalculating my effort, thinking to myself, "only 10 minutes to go. Is this really worth it?" Ken won in a about 23:20, I was a few seconds back.
In 1980 I ran the Herndon 10 miler, the "death run" in which two people died. Not as hot as that 5 miler.
Be careful.

Used to live in Florida, would run in the summer with temps in the low 90's and dew points in the 70's. Now I live in New England and think 80 is hot. It's all about what you're used to.
Ran the Hokkaido Marathon in '06, and it was 35C ~95F at the noon start. That sucked....
45C in Cyprus.
During their heatwave. Even the locals were struggling, people who worked there saying they'd never experienced anything like it. Did about 3 miles.
Didn't feel good. Wanted to jump in the pool after but my heart was pounding so simply lay down on some cool tiles in the shade in a corridor inside, and gradually cooled down. Took me a while to feel OK. Do I regret running in it? No. Do I regret doing a tempo? Yes. I wish I'd just done a very slow, easy run. Something didn't feel right. Thankfully that feeling went away within a couple of hours.
When I was an international student in shanghai with the heat index I ran in 120 F
I thought I was gonna die on my 5 mile loop
82 degrees with about an 83 degree dew point. Felt like being at 8000 ft. "Feels like" temp was mid 90s. And I have run in the afternoon when it is in the mid 90s. As long as you are on a shady trail, it really isn't bad at all.
Close to 100 when I was in college. It didn't bother me. I actually saved a life that day. I saw a unconscious guy lying on the ground with his dog walking nearby. I knocked on a house nearby to call the ambulance.
