The console’s APU works well in temperatures up to 100 degrees. After that, throttle problems occur and from 105 degrees the control unit shuts down itself. These limits are quickly reached at outdoor temperatures above 35 degrees.
earlier Nintendo warned not to play on the Switch if it’s too hot outside. This console also does not perform as expected when it is warmer than 35 degrees outside.
