Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I believe that 95F is the high end cutoff point. I saw an article a couple of years ago on this subject. I think it was from the U of Fl that went into greater detail about Temp v Germination rate.
Here is the funny thing - Most Seed Germination mats add 10-20 degrees. If you are using the mat inside as most people do, and the inside temp is 72 to 75F add in the max of 20F puts you pretty darn close to that 95F mark.

Optimal soil temp for the germination of seeds is between 80-85F. Its hard to find a way to keep that temp steady, so there is a little variance. You could use the mat, but maybe find something like a basting rack that will keep the seeds a little higher.

Lord yes...way too high...
Here is a graph I copied off of an ag extension section of the U of F at Imokolee, Fl.
the article is no longer available but it talked germination percent vs temperature for some annuums...I have used this as a guideline for my grows...you have a drastic drop off after 30C (86F) and at 40C (104F) it drops dang near zero...I germinate at a constant 86F...
wow, im voting that post up. thats a hella good piece of info to have.
your pictures are broken, looks like you put another http in front of the link.
