Hi, iam Allen Watts, Enjoy the rest of your day.
Well, it’s no secret that when the water temperature gets too hot, humans suffer. We all know how uncomfortable it can be to take a dip in water that’s just too warm. But what are the real dangers of swimming in hot water? Let’s take a look!
What Water Temperature Is Too Hot For Humans? [Solved]
Wow, that’s scary! Kids and seniors have it worse when it comes to burns - they can get third-degree burns in just a few minutes at temperatures that wouldn’t even faze an adult. In 124°F water, a kid can be burned in less than three minutes, and in 149°F water, both kids and adults can be burned badly in two seconds or less. Yikes!
Boiling Point: The temperature at which water boils is 212°F (100°C). This is the point at which water turns to steam and can cause serious burns if exposed to human skin.
Scalding Temperature: Water heated to 140°F (60°C) can cause scalding, a type of burn that occurs when hot liquid or steam comes into contact with the skin.
Comfort Level: Most people find water temperatures between 90-105°F (32-40°C) comfortable for bathing and showering purposes.
Hot Tub Temperature: Hot tubs are typically kept between 100-104°F (38-40°C), as this temperature range is considered safe for humans while still providing a relaxing experience.
When it comes to humans and hot water, you don’t want to mess around. Too hot and you’ll be scalded; too cold and you won’t get the full benefit of a good soak. So, it’s important to get the temperature just right - not too hot, not too cold - so that everyone can enjoy a comfortable bath or shower. That’s why it pays to check the water temp before jumping in!
