At last year's (2017) Pleasanton (San Francisco) Games it was 114 F on Saturday, but fortunately a cold front moved through on Sunday and it dropped to 107 F! It was downright dangerous, though I heard of no one dying. I have to say that if temperatures are predicted to be that high in the future, I very regrettably will not attend.
