The moment at which you can no longer keep your finger in the water for more than a second, it should be about 115 degrees F. (hot tubs are often set at 105F or less to prevent injury, and 110F is intolerable).

A hot dry surface on the other hand can be tolerated by touch for more than a second up to 130F. Water causes an increase in the transfer of heat by fluid thermodynamics.

What is the temperature in Celsius?

Room temperature is different in every room so I cant tell you what it is but I can tell you how to find out! Take any thermometer or a tool that measures heat (in celsius for your matter) and take a cup of water. Let the water sit for an hour inside the room that you find out the room temperature. Then put your thermometer in it and see what it measures to :) 20 degrees celcius
