Hottest Temprature you have ever experienced

[Lucky Pierre]

Ooooh, I'm about to temporarily go into the lead. 47 in Tunisia about 17 years ago. It was recommended we stay indoors. So we tried to play golf. We lasted 4 holes.

I'm going there tomorrow - I'd take a temperature half of that.

 

40^oC for me, in Mallorca in 2001.

Summers in Dubai can reach 50+, although it's always reported as 49 because if the temperature hits 50 no one is allowed to work outside.

 

Took a leisurely stroll down the beach in August a couple of summers ago when it was over 50 and thought I was going to turn inside out after about 4 minutes. Couldn't handle it so took my t-shirt off and ran into the sea, it was like trying to swim in a cup of tea, absolutely terrible. I had no idea the sea could get that hot.

Bali.

It was about 32℃ in the evening. But humidity was 100%.

Sweaty, sweaty times.

The equator is a fucker if your right on it.

I just took my jacket off even thinking about it. Warm.

Love Bali weather, me.

Aswan in Egypt, in the middle of August 49 degrees, they advised we didn't go out in the middle of the day.

Crete in July 3 years ago.

I don't know how hot it got in the end but it was 39 degrees in the shade at about 11.30 am.

By the time it was mid afternoon and out in the full sun it can't have been far short of 50.

And after our last drink at the pool bar of our apartments that night, just as we were leaving to go to bed at about midnight, the thermometer at the side of the bar was still showing 33.

Thankfully the air con was good.

Yeah mine was Crete in July in the late 90's, it was 40+ degrees. So hot your sweat evaporated.

 

Spent the majority of the days it was like that under the water. And i peeled like an over ripe satsuma at the end of it.

I was there in July/August about 3 years ago, exactly the same. The heat of the sea was incredible, although I would often go just as the sun was setting and it was pretty nice. It was just impossible to walk around in, dont think it was lower in the day than 47 in the 10 days I was there and even the nights lows were in the 40's. One evening I tried to eat outside in a beach restraunt and just couldn't even sit in it.
