Similarly, the January/February cold snap here that descends into the -40 C range -- because it is so dry -- feels far less cold than say -5 C I have felt during the rare times when it is damp.

My point being that I have sympathy for you; and invite you to the heartland of Canada, but a brief budgie ride away.
Hmm... The humidity likely slows down the rate of dehydration in the heat.
At least, if I remember my chemistry correctly. And if one is dehydrated, the heat will kill them faster.

Unfortunately, most budgies are incapable of carrying a fully grown human, so alas, I must remain here in Australia.
