Warmest Places visited
I figured to offset the coolest places threads, I would start a warmest places thread.
I visited Phoenix a few times in the summer. One day it hit 123 degree. That is a warm place.

Somewhere along the road from Flagstaff AZ to Cortez NM in July. I had to pour water in my eyes just to blink.

Death Valley. I learned to respect the desert after driving through it on a June afternoon. My car overheated, and when I finally got out of the valley and into Lone Pine, I think I drank a couple of gallons of ice water.

El Paso, TX. I was in a wedding there. Not only was it hot, but the homes had roach motels in them--not for roaches, but for scorpions.

Parking lot of a Chili's in Phoenix. Daytime high was around 115 and we were walking across it at 5 PM, so I'd guess it was probably around 125-130. Being from the South, it was definitely a dry, yet intense heat. You aren't sweating, but you are very warm.

I'll cast my vote for Death Valley. The low temperature was in the 80s.

I've been to Las Vegas when it was 114, and it wasn't even close to the feeling of Tallahassee in June/July/August when it's 3pm, 98 degrees, and it just rained for 10 minutes. Sauna doesn't even begin to describe it.

Cyprus - lived there as a child - broke my thermometer.
The Themometer went up to 140 degrees - the temp went above that. Loved that place.

I can't top any of those, but I remember moving back to Oklahoma on July 15th, 1996. As we were unloading all the furniture and crap I heard the deejay on the radio say the temperature was 115. It's bad enough it just being that hot. Actually having to work when it's that hot is just unbearable.

Yup, went to Vegas last summer and it was 115, but it felt better than being in Dallas when the temp is in the nineties...

Lived in the Phoenix area and saw it reach 120 and even being 100 at midnight. It was so hot that no one could go into the pool until 10:30 at night else the water would be too hot.
But... No where in the West is as hot as a typical hot/humid day in the South where it's 90 with 90% humidity. There is no worse weather than that. |

On a positive note, here in Tally last night we hit 33 degrees. I'll remember thisweek fondly in July when I'm sweating through my suitcoat!
I hope Shorty is enjoying his cold stay in Destin!

I will give my vote to Aruba. Stopped there for one day, and I think it was the hottest day of the year. Still though, it was very fun despite the heat.

just outside of Detroit - June 1996
My wife and I stood up in a wedding and it was about 105 and very humid. The reception was in a converted barn and did not have air. Talk about miserable. Everyone was envious of my daughter who was 3 months old at the time, because she was stripped down to just a diaper and was the most comfortable person there. |
