Ditto. Was in Marrakech two summers ago, in July, when a massive heat wave struck for four days. The worst thing was the wind. Hot, dry, desert wind. We just sat at cafés, lounged in our hotel, and went to the water park just outside of town.
If you spoke your mouth would dry in a minute.

Las Vegas in July. ~110 - 115 degrees F or so. The strangest sensation though was being on the top of the Statosphere dump hotel and having ridiculously windy conditions blowing 90+ degree heat in your face, at midnight. It felt like somebody had a hair dryer and turned it full crank blowing it in your face. So bizarre.
Anytime anybody says any shit about dry heat, I'm like GTFO. When it's 110+ degrees, aint no such thing as dry heat. Shit is bizarre.

Just over 100F. Maybe 102F. I HATE heat and avoid it as much as I can.
My wifes parents have a vacation home on the colorado river in Arizona. We go out there in the summers to take the boats out etc.. Summer of 2011 we were there one weekend and it was fucking 122 F outside!
122F! WTF That shit was hell on earth. The house A/C unit was on full blast and could only cool the house to like 89, which felt amazing in comparison. Instead I spent the entire weekend in the river, neck deep in water drinking beers.
122F feels even hotter than you think. Its regularly 100-115 out there when we go so I"m used to the dry heat.. but the jump between 115 and 122 is like being on the surface of the sun!

Florida in August.. I was in my teens walking from the Motel to the convenience store. Almost passed out so I stay at the store longer enjoying the AC and playing a coin-op arcade game.
the guy knew that I was plunking quarters into the arcade machine so I wouldn't go back out there

105 F (40 C), give or take a degree.
Anything over maybe 85 F though and I am miserable. Can't stand the heat (or plain old warmth for that matter) and love the cold.
I think the worst I've ever been in that wasn't necessarily the hottest temperature was in Korea during an exercise a couple years ago. It was close to 100 degrees, extremely high humidity, and we were all in MOPP 2 and flak jackets (luckily no plates). People were passing out left and right and they eventually decided to let us not wear the vests and go ventilated with the chem gear top unzipped. Finally they gave a BDU-only order and we didn't have to wear chem gear. But early that week before they started easing up on us, I got caught in MOPP 4 for five hours; suit, boots, gloves, and gas mask. The person inside who was on the radio was incompetent as shit and after I sat outside sweating for hours, she ended up getting me 'contaminated' by ordering me to cross through an area we knew had been hit by 'chemical agents.' I then had to walk across base to get 'decontaminated.' Of course it started raining then, which did little to help the situation, because it was still hot as fuck out.
Absolutely horrible experience... I haven't seen that chick in years and can't even remember her name, but I still hate her for that.

No idea. Hottest temperature I experienced in the Lower Mainland B.C. was probably around 35 deg C. I had to work outside all day. It was pretty uncomfortable, but not that bad.
When I was on vacation in Italy in 2005 It must have been hotter. Maybe between 35-40 or so.
I'm from cold Canada! I can contribute to the "coldest weather" discussions, but not this hot stuff. I'm not sure which is worse. Probably 40 C + and high humidity.

It was over 100 degrees when I visited Las Vegas, but it didn't feel like it. Somehow 90 degrees in Miami feels much hotter. In Miami I've experienced up to 99 degrees, always expecting it to creep over to triple digits but it never does.
(All Fahrenheit, of course.)

I've been in 110+ degree dry heat when I've been traveling on the west coast of the US a couple of times.
I still prefer it to the oppressive humidity I deal with all the time in South Florida. It hits 90-95+ all the time here, and the humidity averages over 73% here. On the hot days it's not uncommon for the humidity to be in 90s too. It's absolutely gross.
Yeah it's fucking hot. But having lived in California for a year, it's a lot easier to deal with. Cover up so you don't burn, and make sure you stay hydrated. With the humidity, I can't make it across the street without sweating most of the year. Often this is day or night. Dry climates cool quite a bit overnight. We barely do. Oh it's 95F in the day? Expect 87F at night.
I keep spare clothing in an overnight bag in my car, specifically to change in case I get too sweaty and can't go home to shower yet. To hell with that.

My girlfriend lives in Lake Elsinore, and during the summer it sometimes gets up to 110-115 F. Visiting her house during the summer is not fun.
Now that you remind me, I was travelling through the Georgia swamp area one time, and it was over 100 and the humidity was crazy too. Absolutely miserable. My condolences.
I visited Phoenix on the 4th of July a while back, and I think it was 110-120 F that weekend, almost certainly the hottest I've ever been in.
I grew up in Georgia which is probably pretty humid, and I also kind of resent the "oh but it's a dry heat" people, since 115 in Arizona still felt like you were sticking your head in an oven.
Plus I would constantly feel like my mouth was weird and dried out, even with drinking water and whatnot.It was crazy in Phoenix though, since I seem to recall that driving from there up to the Grand Canyon went from 115 to very nice, or almost even cool, weather.

Inlaws live in Hemet, it gets toasty! The wind blows and it feels like an oven. It really is better than if it was 100 and humid, though.
Assumed this thread would be about Australia. Turns out the OP is in my city.
My hottest was on "Black Saturday(?)" a few years ago in Victoria. Stepped out of Melbourne airport and could hardly believe the heat and wind. It was in the mid 40s, I believe. Almost laughed.
Thankfully, I managed to stay in AC most of the day.

Humidity it hell on earth. I went to Tennessee for Bonnaroo and couldn't stand it. Dry heat I can stand.

This is pretty much how I feel. You basically are only outside to get to your car during the summer.

115 Fahrenheit is hottest I've been in at Palm Springs during the summer.
Yeah, used to only be two I knew about! Even met him in meatspace.
I slept quite well, actually. I live up a hill, which helps, and window open, fan on.
Good luck tonight!

It's not the hottest I've experienced, but when I was in Jamaica, it just never seemed to change. It didn't matter if it was the middle of the day or 4am in the morning, if you weren't in direct sunlight it just felt the same, constantly.
Lived for a year in a small village in the middle of the brazilian amazon (dad was military, stationed at a border outpost there), we got like 35 to 40 degrees Celsius year round, with 80% + humidity.
Desert heat is tolerable, you at least get cold nights and shadow can bring you some sort of refuge, but you just can't escape the kind of heat you get in the jungle, it's like living in a sauna (lol @ air conditioners, we had power for like 8h a day from a diesel generator)

One specific Vegas trip I went on the temps got up to 118 F. It was super dry and windy. The wind wasn't refreshing though. I'm a sweaty guy and it was evaporating in the hot wind before it could soak into my shirt or cool me off. It was terrible.
