116f / 46c-47c in Las Vegas one year... coming from the UK this was blistering!

I remember going on the roller coaster around New York New York in that year and it was like a hair dryer in my mouth.
 
47c/116f. It was on Black Saturday in Melbourne when we had the worst bush fires in Australia. And also the hottest day on record.
 
Being from Scandinavia I can't tolerate high temperatures. I think the worst I've experienced was Fiji or maybe Greece with 35-40º C.
 
Aden, Yemen. Never looked at how much it was but my god I was going to die.
Such a shame because it's a beautiful city compared to the others in Yemen :<

Sana'a has such good weather but when you go to the southern cities... fuuucccccccccccck. Nope.



NYC gets pretty hot too :<
 
I went to Japan in July last year and took long site-seeing walks every day, dat humidity.. five minutes in the sun and I was soaking wet, it was disgusting.

Visiting Mt. Fuji was great, because it felt like Swedish summer.
 
One summer I spent in Perth and the temps got to 40-50C most days. We stayed in an attic room where the roof was made of tin and I had a hangover. Worst hangover ever.
 
A couple years back my family took a trip to las vegas and it was 115 F in the afternoon, what's worse is my brother and I got lost looking for the Nike store and walked up and down the strip looking for it.

Haha we were pissed when it was inside and hidden in the back where we first started looking.

It was so damn hot
 
110f in Arizona one Summer. Wasn't bad compared to the 100f 99% humidity in Virginia I experienced. Never again.
 
I vacationed in Mexico five years ago, and that entire week it hovered above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm from Wisconsin so usually we're used to high 80s.
 
Most central and southern Spain reaches 40ºC+ daily during July and August, with 45ºC peaks some days. You just grow accustomed to it.
 
Around 114F/46C or maybe more in Spain during a heatwave. Not that bad considering I'm from Los Angeles (coastal though).Even my time at UC Riverside, it never got that hot, although close to it. The worst was the humidity I experienced in Tarragona. I dont't like humid weather.
I was on vacation.
 
it was 44c here today (adelaide, australia) and its going to be 45 tomorrow. hottest i've experienced is 46. it sucks.
 
In early 2009, Adelaide, South Australia was hit by a heat wave with temperatures reaching 40+ °C for six days in a row, while many rural areas experienced temperatures hovering around about mid 40s °C (mid 110s°F). Kyancutta on the Eyre Peninsula endured at least one day at 48 °C, with 46 and 47 being common in the hottest parts of the state. Melbourne, in neighbouring Victoria recorded 3 consecutive days over 43 °C (109 °F), and also recorded its highest ever temperature 8 days later in a secondary heatwave, with the mercury peaking at 46.4 °C (115.5 °F). During this heat wave Victoria suffered from large bushfires which claimed the lives of more than 210 people and destroyed more than 2,500 homes. There were also over half a million people without power as the heatwave blew transformers and the power grid was overloaded.


That week in Adelaide was fucking mental.
 
Somewhere between 45 and 50 c in Greece, low humidity though.
Worst was around 40 with really high humidity in Turkey, that was really awfull, non stop sweating.
 
40's I can take as long as it is dry. Give me 37 with high humidity and I fold like a little child.

I certainly don't enjoy 40's (I think the highest I have ever experienced was 42-43), but yeah, my worst experience was this summer in Kyoto. 38 but downright drenching, it felt magnitutes worse than the 40's experiences.
 
Loving summer here in Sydney just like always.

Work at home all day long. Then at 5pm I drive down to the beach and go for a swim.
 
Greece 43-44 C. The sun was so bright even sunglasses didn't help. It was fucking blinding. But that was a one time thing. The really bad stuff, and this happens much more often, are the times you get 39-40 C and 85%+ humidity. Everyone is out of breath all the time. Seaside cities for the win. Everyone who moves to my town from another place in Greece spends at least one year sick from the humidity.
 
Scorching 40+ degree days in Townsville, Queensland (visiting family, both sides come from Townsville), and similarly hot temperatures when we were on holiday in Cairo.
 
I can take 40+ whatever no problem, but humidity kills me. Why the fuck are humans still so susceptible to it? Makes me wonder how people in humid countries were able to do ANYTHING in the past few thousand years.
 
The highest temp recorded on Earth was:

56.7 °C (134 °F) in Death Valley, USA

Fitting name?

I don't think that can be right. I'm positive Australia outback, middle east, and places like that can reach a possible 60-70c. 56c might be the highest average.
 
About 112F in SE Alabama during a heat wave, with 100% humidity. Hell on earth.

Even when it's not a heat wave I don't go outside during the summer here.
