Hypothermia is not as problem as the cave is near 100 deg F.
I doubt that the cave is very "near 100 deg f." 100 is above body
temperature, and in an environment where sweat can't readily evaporate, it
should be lethal over the time they've been trapped. In my experience,
even 90 feels very hot in a cave and isn't tolerable indefinitely.

I saw that in one of the videos, however I just found this on the web:
How Did the Group Avoid Hypothermia?
Hypothermia is a major concern when trapped in a wet, underground cave.
Fortunately, the ambient temperature in Tham Luang Nang Non is predicted
to be between 73 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit, but experts still said
<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44633601> the boys should have
wrung out their wet clothes and huddled together at nighttime for
warmth. The floodwaters themselves could get significantly colder, so
the boys had to have found high enough ground to avoid being even
partially submerged.
