>Temperature around 95-100.

lucky bastards. Judging that such setting is everywhere here in US, it looks like some public standard prohibit higher than 160 or something like this. Playing with the temperature sensors (like cold toweling it) i usually can get it to only 180-190F at some places with 195F (90C) at best.

There are often mini-saunas at the local swimming pools which have similarly underwhelming temperatures.

They're nice, but they're not as nice. (Though I suspect in my case at least partly because if I go to a pool I often have a five year old with me, and he wants to leave very quickly - plus I've come to associate drinking beer with being near a sauna!)

Just cover the internal thermometer with a wet towel or sock, that lets the temp rise beyond the low limits they set.
