The hair came of his balls??

Holy crap lol

Not even the worst pool story i've heard. Some family a couple of towns over from where i'm at got caught in a bushfire. It was too late to leg it so they jumped in their pool thinking they wouldn't be burned.

It worked, they weren't burned

but they were boiled alive

House boating at Lake Mead it was around 120F. Here in Bakersfield in July we have almost a whole month of 100 plus heat. I will take the super hot dry heat over the south's humid heat anyday though.

Was out on site at Roxy Downs/Olympic Dam in South Australia - 54 degrees C, IN THE SHADE! Worst experience of my life and you have people slugging it away out there.

For those who don't know where that is, it's a rural mining town literally in the middle of the outback.

this is my contribution to the thread:



terrible quality, but it was all i could find.

Right here in Arkansas.

I'm sure temps get higher in other parts of the world, but the humidity makes it so much worse. I hate the months of June-early September here. Downright miserable.

Lived in AZ for 25 years, according to a quick web search it got up to 122 back in 1990, although on a normal basis it was 110-115... including 1989 when there were a record 143 days with 100+ degree weather.

I was there for 8 of the 10 hottest days on record (118-122).

Needless to say, I don't live there anymore, nor do I miss it.

135 in Fallujah, Iraq in July. And we had to do foot patrols in that shit, had every pocket filled with water bottles, both canteens filled and a camelpack. Went through about two gallons of water in 3 hours every patrol. Well, every patrol that we didn't stop at someones house and chill out in the shade for a few minutes at a time.



135 was one of the hottest days. 125 was more common.

How did you not get hyponatremia? Did you have some kind of supplements you took?

I've been out of state on a few NYEs & it always felt wrong being away from the ball drop. to me that epitomizes the NYE feeling, or maybe that's because I'm a New Yorker

I was born and raised on Long Island. I also spent 9 years of my adult life back on Long Island. I've never been to TS on NYE. I never wanted to deal with those crowds. That's not my thing. I never went to the Macy's parade either, for the same reasons.

122 here in phx. We average 110 in summers lol

I lived in Green Valley, AZ for three years. It got pretty damned hot, but I don't recall the hottest. I used to have to put on a bullet proof vest, long pants, long sleeves, and about thirty pounds of gear on my duty belt and go humping up and down the hills in the high desert in Nogales. It sucked. I'd empty a camelback every two hours or so.

Well Australia is having several of the hottest days on record at the moment, so uhh.. now.

 

[Heisenberg]

Las vegas for dry heat
Houston for humidity

I will take dry heat any day

I work many soccer camps here in Atlanta. In the summers it stays around 90 most of the time during the day. It can get up in the 100s fairly often. This summer I was coaching on a turf field. It was 100 multiple days that week according to weather.com, and I'm assuming that the turf made it feel somewhere closer to 110-120. Rough day watching a bunch of little kids attempting to play soccer.

humidity sucks balls

 

[naked duck]

35-40C i think. Was 10 years ago and I got to take the rest of the day off due to the heat.

Coldest was about -45C F'kin Sask.
