I've seen 114 on the VFR's thermometer while riding through the low
California desert.

At those sorts of temperatures I carry water bottles in my tank-bag,
and empty one over my head and tee-shirt every 1/2 hour or so; then
let the wind-blast cool me through evaporation.

I've ridden in 120 degree weather on I-15 between Las vegas and
Barstow, using the evaporative cooling effect obtained by soaking my
shirt and the Navy watch cap I was wearing in water every half hour.

(At that time there was no helmet law in either state.)

The hottest place I've ever been was Aswan, Egypt, where it was 127
degrees F. in the shade, and there the only shade in sight was being
used by a donkey.

Fortunately, there was a nice breeze coming up the hill from the Nile
river...

When I got back to Elephantine Island, I drank about gallon of water
in my hotel room.

BryanUT thrives on pity, that's why he whines a lot.
