Well . . . steam only has one temperature: 212 degrees F. (at sea level). Remember, steam is an invisible gas. The part you can see and may call "steam" is actually thousands of tiny water droplets.

What is the difference between dry steam and wet steam to clean?
DRY steam is superheated There is a temperature below which steam will start to condense into water droplets. This is called the saturation temperature, and it varies with the pressure of the steam. Steam that is exactly at its saturation temperature is called saturated steam. Steam that is below its saturation temperature contains droplets of moisture and is called wet steam. Steam that is above its saturation temperature is called superheated steam.
