95 is normal where I live for Finnish saunas. Then there are other types of saunas that start lower, but Finnish are always around 95.

95 is high for Finnish saunas in Finland at least. Public saunas are very rarely so hot here, and few like it that hot.

Edit: to put it into some numbers, per one study[1] Finnish sauna sessions were on average at 75.9°C with SD 9.9°C. If we assume normal distribution, that means that more than 97 % of sauna sessions are at < 95°C.
