People here seem to bitch about the weather when it's cold and when it's to hot. They must like it when it's around 21c or something. It's quite annoying lol

I'm fascinated by weather so i like to experience the extremes.

Another Tasmanian? Damn there's a few of us floating around on here!

Hottest day was when I lived in Far North WA - about 48 degrees and a bit of humidity, was just fucking delirious.

Yeah, not sure how bad the hole in the ozone is these days, but the sun in Tassie still burns like a mofo. I did a European summer and didn't get burnt, even on some days I forgot sunscreen and was walking all day. If I'm in the sun for 15 minutes in Tassie I will get burnt.

It's why you get burnt to a fucking crisp in 20 minutes on a 25 degree day. Once I went to Europe/morocco I noticed how dramatic it really is.

Yeah i get what you mean though, many times it's been hot as hell i thought it must of been pushing 30c then i check the temp only maxed out at 20c.

Tomorrow is gonna be fun then, might even reach 40c which will feel like 50c lol

Yup. Walked around the Greek islands all day and got a slight tan. In the twenty minutes it took to set up my tent at falls the other day my neck was roasted, and it was only maybe 23.

what's ridiculous is i can sit in the sauna that's at 210F for like 15-20 minutes before experiencing any discomfort or thirst. but get the weather to like 95F here and i'm dying when i set foot outside. maybe it's the brightness/sun?

The sun is heating up your body. Temps around the body temp should theoretically be comfortable, but because the body is heating up it needs something cooling it down, the sun increases that heating by a lot.

Time and the lack of wind is probably also a big factor. I work as a pizza delivery and was able to deliver pizzas in -7 (not F) in a t-shirt because I came from a hot car and just spent some minutes outside. When I walked to the bus packed in clothers however I was freezing.
 
48.5°C (119°F) with high humidity in Dubai. 'Twas like living in hell. Only the "winters" are bearable. You can almost never go outside and just go for a walk.

British residents and tourists LOVE the humidity, I don't know what it is. Their bodies just respond differently or something.
 
110F in Arizona. I don't want to have to experience anything hotter than that. My skin is pretty damn sensitive especially on my face.
 
In southeast Texas everyday is incredibly hot and sticky.
 
It got 105 at one point where I live in Florida and it's more miserable than some of the temps these people are posting from desert areas like Arizona. The 80% humidity or whatever it is makes it feel like 120, and it's the hottest and stickiest heat you'll ever feel probably. You can't even step outside without immediately regretting your decision and needing to dump your head in a tub of cold water.

I remember i watched a documentary about how the sun is slowly getting bigger.
In thousands of years (maybe more) places like New York City will regularly get 50c+(130F) temperatures.

Scary to think of the crazy weather Earth will experience in the future.

It'll actually be the sun getting brighter itself rather than its larger size that will increase temperatures here. And we're talking a really, really long timescale. Like millions and millions of years.

Anyways, I dont think I've ever experienced super extreme heat, but it does get pretty damn hot here every year and humidity is pretty high. Maybe 105-110 degrees before factoring in humidity. I used to work outside regularly in 100+ degree weather, though.

Yea, humidity really is the worst. Step outside your house and you can barely breathe. Or if you're wearing glasses, they fog up immediately! lol

Alot of people mentioning Greece, i didn't realize it was so hot there!

This.

I was in Athens for a business trip with a colleague in 2007 during the heatwave; apparently it was 50 degrees (122 Fahrenheit). Pretty humid heat too...

Arrived and went to the hotel - Just sat there literally, the entire brain wiped out with heat.
Sat drinking beer after beer, unable to say anything else but every 30 seconds "It's hot isn't it?"
Sweat dripping down legs, arm, every surface of skin - constantly.

Later that week, at some point got into a car first, which had been in direct sunlight, it was easily +60 degrees in there, I flipped out! Surprised I didn't fuck up that trip in that moment alone.

Thing is after a few days, you "dry" out and get accustomed to it - you just forget about the heat after a while.
The funny thing is I guess I learnt I can take such extreme heat, but I never want to experience that again.
 
In the summer of 2011 the all-time high temperature for Houston, Texas was shattered by reaching 118F during one afternoon. That might have been the feels-like temperature after factoring in the humidity but I think it was the actual temp. Shit was horrible.

The southeast U.S. might not be the hottest place in the country degree-for-degree but our crazy-high humidity makes for a disastrous combination.
 
Been in about 45C in Death Valley. Really felt like being in an oven.

I was also in Seville during a heatwave in the late nineties. which hit about 43C. That actually felt worse because the humidity was so high and it was an urban area.

Here in the UK I think the hottest I can remember it being is maybe 34C or something. But usually the humidity gets you long before the heat does. I really hate that sort of weather.
 
Probably the hottest was this past summer on a vacation to Puerto Vallarta.

It topped at 107F one day, with humidity around 90%.
 
Hottest I've ever endured was during a summer in Israel. Visiting estranged family for the first time and it was brutal, I think 115 or 120 F was the average. The sand just reflects heat back at you. At least it was dry heat. However, worst heat ever for me is here in MN. It gets so humid that even 90 is miserable.
 
This thread has reminded me that I sure as fuck am not looking forward to the summer. Last year's summer and this year's winter has reminded me how much I love the cold weather and how much I fucking hate hot weather, even if we don't get much humidity.
 
something like 109-111F one or two summers ago in new jersey. It was during a heat wave that seem to last forever. Base closed down and everyone was sent home because they were spending so much money trying to cool all the buildings.
 
I experienced a few days at 40° C with not a breeze to be had in the south of Italy (Lecce) and it was horrible. We had a wedding to go to and none of the venues were air conditioned. I was in a t-shirt and skirt and I was sweating buckets all day long, my face was bright red, my makeup ran. I have never felt so annoyed in my life... I can't handle high temperatures, when it's over 20° I start complaining, so 40° was like a nightmare to me.
 
Not the hottest weather experienced but getting out of the plane in Doha at midnight and it being somewhere between 35° and 40° degrees C was quite a shock!
 
When driving across the country (actually as a passenger) we stopped in Las Vegas. It was night when we arrived and it was still high 80s I think, maybe warmer. When I woke up the next day to get to the car it was about 116F. It basically hurt to go outside, and the black leather seats in my brother's car basically melted me into them.

Thailand. 45C with extreme humidity. Much worse than any humidity I have experienced in any Southeastern US state (from Tennessee). Within seconds of walking outside you are covered in sweat from head to toe and it feels like you are drowning with every breath you take.
 
45 degrees in the egyptian sahara. not a whole lot of fun, but i'd probably take it over the regular japan summer heat — at least you feel okay for a bit after taking a sip of water.
 
Around 38C in the UK and about the same in Nigeria. Apparently the North is like that constantly. Fuck that shit. I remember when it reached 38C in London and the moment I got off the bus I was blinded by sweat. Give me perpetual rain or 2C weather any day.
 
I've lived near Phoenix my entire life. Hottest I think It ever got was about 20 years ago it was 122F. It gets over 110F pretty routinely I just consider the summers here like getting snowed in somewhere else. Wife and I both work from home and will usually only run errands early in the morning or late at night.
