No, an unprotected human being cannot survive exposure to an ambient air temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius) for more than a very brief period. At such extreme temperatures, the human body's thermoregulatory system fails completely, leading to rapid heatstroke, cellular protein breakdown, multiple organ failure, and fatal cardiovascular collapse within minutes unless immediate cooling occurs.
