I don't know what you mean. This is a global temperature map and it's a stretch to say the temperature is above 40C which is 104 degrees There are small sections that 68 degrees Fahrenheit, but it's not out the ordinary where it happens
The meme specified "perceived temperature", which I would assume to mean some combination of the temperature metric with a heat index, humidex, wind data, solar radiation estimates, or something like that
Temperature + humidity = perceived temperature aka "feels like". It feels like 58°c in Brazil like a few days ago.
Perceived temp ≠ actual temp.
