-50C is real cold - about as cold as regular humans will ever be exposed to, and survive, anywhere (outside of Antarctica). +50C is real hot - about as hot as regular humans will ever be exposed to (and survive).

Nice and symmetric.

Of course there's a little bit of flexibility in these descriptions. I believe both Baghdad and Yarkutsk have surpassed their respective "50"-lines without killing their complete populations.

Wherever a temperature is survivable depends on the humidity as well.
