The law requires that public hot tubs remain at or below 104 degrees F. Above this, people may explode... J/K ...get seriously ill.
So with sweat, the breeze of riding, shade, and hydration, your body can tolerate a lot as long as your core temperature is maintained to that 104 degree max limit. I think the key is having the moisture within you to sweat out. I am one of those that starts hydration way to late to keep things flowing.
Then again, I sit in a sprinkler when the heat reaches triple digits
