A request to the stewardess, repeated, for cold water or other drink, air conditioning, or take me off this

What do I do?
There seem to be no guidelines for length of time and excess temperatures.
Help!
There are, indeed guidelines for deplaning in excessive temperatures. Taking out the drama, how hot was it, really?
'The excessive heat is making me feel ill. I need to deplane,' will get you all the attention you need - and maybe a ride on your back to the airport medical clinic.
