In theory yes, although you're discounting the effects of evaporative cooling due to sweat. You can be in temperatures significantly above 98.6F and still not overheat. You'll be uncomfortable, but you won't be in mortal peril either due to imminent overheating.

Drink a crapload of water. And bring some with you. A camelback is probably a great idea. A big one.
