A "hand hot" temperature, or the hottest temperature you can comfortably immerse your hand in without experiencing pain, is typically around 110-115°F (43-46°C).
While this is a general guideline, individual tolerance can vary based on factors such as:
- Skin Thickness: People with thicker, more calloused skin may be able to tolerate slightly higher temperatures.
- Skin Sensitivity: Sensitivity varies based on the individual.
- Circulation: Good circulation helps the hand dissipate heat, making it more tolerant.
- Acclimation: Repeated exposure to warm water may slightly increase tolerance over time.
Important Note: If you have sensitive skin, test the water's temperature on a less sensitive area, like the back of your hand, before fully immersing it.
