Yeah, that's the bollocks everyone comes out with. In the Summer only the homeless or unaware tourists hang out in central Phoenix.

I much prefer the damp Welsh winter to the Dry Winter’s here.
There is hardly any greenery, everything looks barren and Static Electricity is a bugger :)

You have a point about the greenery. Especially when grass dies. Makes spring all the more spectacular though.

Hoo boy. That static electricity. Zap, zap, zap.
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Turkey mid July a few years back. They were having a heat wave - it was the year when they had it in Greece too and people were dropping dead. It was 45 to 49 in the day and still 35 at 2am. It was just unbearable. Every couple of hours in the night the air con would break down as it couldn't cope.
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Phoenix, AZ, 49C. Felt like having a quilt on in the sauna.

Lindos seconded :hehe: Almost 50c poolside in July. Missus is fair with freckles and hid under an umbrella for two weeks. We decided to walk up to the Acropolis one afternoon at 2pm... bad move!

Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
hottest place i have been to is Death Valley in USA,but with very low humidity 48c was bearable.
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Always remember a trip to Melbourne for the boxing day test in 2016. 42 was hot , but felt fecking lovely and cool compare to the 28-32 and bucket loads of humidity that the gold Coast had been offering up for the previous few months.

Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Its surprising how hot Poland and Russia and Ukraine can get in the summer yet come November its fecking freezing. Germany also has some beautiful summers but harsh winters .
The Battle Of Stalingrad showed how brutal Russian winters could be compared to the stunning summers .
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Working in the furnace at the back of the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, it used to get bloody hot in there!!!
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Abroad it’s Bagan in Myanmar 48 degrees C
At home it’s the knock off department in the old John Williams foundry on the embankment 125 F, 51 degrees C. Try swinging an 8lb sledge for 8 hours in that heat. Fkg mental. The weight dropped off and I was as lean as a whippet after 2 weeks.
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Either Washington DC where I moved as quickly as possible between air conditioned buildings or Las Vegas where the soles of my trainers melted and stuck to the pavement
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Hands down….Las Vegas…..like living in a tumble dryer!!

Poland and the like have a completely different climate to western Europe though.
We have a cool temperate oceanic climate and they have a central continental climate. Berlin is actually in the centre of a huge shallow artesian basin. That central continental climate is what gives them warm dry summers and cold dry winters and low temperatures. When i lived in Berlin, in the summer it would be hot and dry for 4 to 6 days then one day about 4 PM there'd be a torrential downpour and/or thunderstorm then everything would go back to hot and dry again for the next week. Crazy but so predictable you could plan an outside do 6 months in advance and be reasonable certain you'd get good weather.

My back garden this afternoon
Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To
Death Valley. Was driving from LA to Vegas and there weren't many towns or toilets for miles and miles so I pulled off highway 15. When I got out of the car for a pee I have never felt anything like it. Neither had the particular part of my body exposed to that sun
