Temperature is how much movement there is at the molecular or atomic level(depending on how you are measuring.

There is a lower limit, but no upper limit on how much heat can be measured.

This is the basis of the Kelvin scale and starts at absolute zero or the temperature at which all movement (energy) stops

Air is a medium. Flowing air is a decent heat exchanger, still air is bad at it
