As a Finn I feel the need to inform you that you shouldn't be Oppoing in sauna. You should be relaxing naked without tablet/laptop/phone while throwing water onto the sauna stove stones every now and then.
Edit: vihta optional

Is there another type of sauna? It's not a steam room, it's just like a normal sauna. If there was any moisture in the air 180 degrees would be absolutely intolerable.

180 - holy crap. Most saunas I've been in have water for the rocks to add some moisture, but I guess it's not much at all in the scheme of things.

Adding more moisture to the air makes the air transmit that heat to your body more readily, as water is a much better conductor of heat than air. That's why steam rooms feel incredibly hot at like 120-140 degrees, but you can go into a sauna at 180.
Fun fact: blow on your own skin in a sauna. It will burn. This is because the air you exhale is higher in moisture and conducts the high heat to your skin via convection.
