When it’s kept aggressively cold indoors, by use of air conditioning, to overcompensate for the outside heat. The opposite of a regular sauna, where it is too hot inside but feels unbearably cold once you exit.

If it is 100 degrees and you are wondering whether you should have brought a light jacket to your work, school, etc., you have likely stumbled into a devil’s sauna.
My parents get upset if I touch the thermostat; they like to keep a devil’s sauna.
