Have you lived anywhere really hot? How hot? Do not say sauna or steam room because they are rooms not places. The air outside how hot was it? Please go into detail with how you coped.
Horseshoe Lights abandoned gold/copper mine in Westernzavjmk Bhutto Australia. 46*C (115*F) was the hottest it got but on a 44*C day we decided to drive some golf balls into the open pit.
When we ran out of golf balls we saw a couple of Kangaroos halfway down the mine so we thought "how bad can it be?" and set off down the spiralling trail cut into the rock face. After half an hour or so traversing the road that had collapsed in some parts causing landslides of sharp rock covering the road below it, we reached the bottom where a toxic lake coloured brilliant blue began looking very inviting in the heat. We wrote a quick message to the mines caretaker (Hi Gav) who had told us never to go down there, in blue stones and set out on the mission out.
A third of the way up we stopped talking to each other as fear stepped determination up a notch. Halfway up we emptied our pockets of golfballs as we seriously believed that it could be the difference between making it out alive and dying. As we reached the top I was in a daze and had forgotten we had to walk another 500m through the lunaresque slag pit to the vehicle which had water onboard luckily.
I was so dehydrated I couldn't drink properly.
I'm always hot!
But to answer your question about temperature. It got pretty hot during the summer and it would peak around 110 F (43 C).
I had a swimming pool.
I live in a country that once got into three figures (in Fahrenheit). Yeah, I know. :P Got friends who got into the hundred and twenties in their country, though. Over fifty degrees Centigrade. Forty is mad. Fifty plus is insane!
I'm not sure. I'm in England, though, so not very. Although, it was particularly hot (for my standards) at several points. I don't really cope, I just end up acting a bit weird:S. Drinking more water helps!
I live 20 minutes away from New Orleans. It's not a dry hot. It's muggy & thick. There are hotter places, but the humidity can b a real bitchslap
I haven't been anywhere that has seen extremely high temperatures (at least not when I was around).
I'm pretty sure the hottest temperature I've felt/experienced was when it was around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And probably over 100 degrees when you factor in the heat index!
It can get to 115-120 here. I was driving some Dodge Caravan and it had a temperature gauge on the dash and when I looked at it, I thought (being a new driver and all) OMG is this temperature the engine or outside...???
Then I stepped outside. My part of California is a little closer to the desert than the coastal area. Although I still prefer 120 of dry heat to 32 degrees because I am thin-blooded.
Hong Kong. The hottest could be between 35 to 40 degrees celcius in the summer. The climate is also humid, which makes you feel sticky even after a shower. I had a lot of cold drinks and kept the air-conditioning on.
The other one was Croatia. The sun was blazing every day. My skin hurt when sunlight shone on me directly. I could only stay indoors between 10am and 8pm. A lot of ice cream and fluids too.
I remember when it was 250 degrees...WHOOOOO i was sweating like hell!!
What? I was fixing my oven.
35ºC, at Foz Do Iguaçu, Brazil. Thank god Curitiba rarely goes over 20ºC...
The hottest I have experienced is 30 degrees C in the south of France. Seems quite pathetic to other peoples answers but it felt extremely hot to me. I didn't cope with it. I just got on with it, because I had to and was doing geographical surveys outdoors.
Phoenix in the summer is hell. It got to 114 degrees (F) once. Its called the valley of the sun for a reason
Well, I've lived in Florida for the winter and spring so unfortunately I didn't experience their heat. North Carolina didn't actually get insanely hot the two summers I lived there. It got over 100F, but the days were usually consistent at 90F-100F.
I don't think I've been in temperatures over 112F. That is the heat index, not the actual temperature. So I'm sure without heat index it was 110Fish. (Haha.. Fish.)
What sucks about this is living in New England, my place is much too old to have central air and my parents can't afford to run an AC unit through the whole apartment. I was laying in front of my fan with a frozen wash cloth on my head and neck for the length of the heat wave. I had never sweat so much in my life. I felt like a baked potato.
37 or so degrees C, whilst in the UK. That's unusually hot for these parts.
The hottest places I've been to were: Nevada, Arizona, Florida, and there have been some extremely hot days in Maryland during the summer.
I live in Michigan, so it's not very warm. Maybe in the 90s F at most! I can't stand the heat though.
I've been the hottest when I went to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Tropical heat, a very different kind of heat than what I'm used to. I liked it, though. But I was hot hot.
