If you're not sure how you'll do then go slow, be careful, and drink lots. Know the signs of heat stress.
Curious if you feel like the temp reading on your Wahoo is accurate. Mine always seems to read high.

I think the answer to the original question is I know it when I feel it. When the humidity is so high that sweat just pours out of my helmet, it's too hot. When I stop sweating even though I'm drinking as much as I can, it's too hot.
