Cyprus for the Euro 2016 qualifiers
In the 50's with car steering wheels melting 🥵🥵
Lindos - Rhodes very hot and so bright I had difficulty keeping my eyes open.
Nicosia
It was in the mid 40s (not the 1940s). We crossed the road as often as we needed just to walk in the shade.
Death Valley
Jordan
India
Australia during their heatwave
Did 2 spells based in Delhi, 42C AVERAGE in May getting to just over 50C around about now if the dust storms have been delayed ahead of the monsoon season. On the plus side they think it's "freezing" in winter when the temperature drops to 15C!
Cyprus for me as well. Went one September and it was boiling uncomfortably hot. Been to the Australian outback and Las Vegas and it was hot there but a dry desert heat so not so uncomfortable.
Mildura picking grapes outback Oz 40 degrees, about the same but far more humid in Chiapas southern Mexican jungle. Clothes just become wet walking a few hundred yards. Sumatra and Singapore being close to equator were uncomfortable too. I won’t rush back to any of them
Seville in August, **** me, it must've been mid 40's
France 1990. In a caravan with no air conditioning! 40c, very uncomfortable.
414 Club, Brixton.
Turkey and Florida in August dreadful ,waste of a holiday ,never again .
The Ninian Stand whenever the sun is out.
Paphos July 2008. 43 degrees in the shade, was 30 degrees at 6.30am. Left work before 9 as the plaster I was using was going off on the trowel. Mind you it’s the same every summer over here.
Turkey.
Death Valley
Botswana
Walsall, a few games into the 03/04 season. Was absolutely baking that day, Gareth Whalley got a late equaliser. Don’t think I’ve ever been that hot.
Turkey and Cyprus were both unbelievably hot while I was there.
Florida was pretty hot, but on the other hand, it rains fairly frequently.
UAE.. Low 40sC in the shade. Took a taxi to sort out a driving licence and, as the taxis were so cheap, kept the taxi on the clock. Got back and the taxi thermometer (ok, it was in the sun) read 56c! Sharjah may have been hotter but no way of proving it. Went to the desert zoo which is air conned. Walking back to the car, just across the other side of the car park, was evil.
89c in a sauna was pretty daft, in my younger days....if the thermometer was accurate.
Another vote for Australia, made worse by driving with A/c, opening the door was like opening an oven.
Dumballs Road, building industrial units, Summer 1976, unforgiving. Absolute ridiculous conditions to be working outside in.
Arches National Park in Utah. Walked around all day and at 6 p.m. stopped off at a restaurant where the waitress brought a jug of ice cold water.
Manna from Heaven.
Followed by a bottle of beer named 'Polygamy Porter' with the slogan: 'Why Just Have One?'
Don't tell me the Mormons don't have a sense of humor.
Going to Corfu in July / August 1995 on my first trip abroad always sticks in my mind. We landed around midday and as I was walking away from the plane I was assuming that the intense heat was from the plane engines but it wasn’t - not sure of actual temperatures but it was very hot all trip.
Marmaris Turkey 48 degrees.
I was sweating getting out of the shower and tore a couple of T-shirts trying to getting them off.
What a summer that was, eh!
I remember it actually rained quite heavily, one early evening. I made no attempt to get out of the rain, it was just a relief to feel somewhat cool, albeit very wet!
Turkey in July of '87 was bloody hot. However, I don't think I've experienced anything above 40c, unlike a lot of others in this thread.
It averages 32-34c where I live in the summer, which is livable, however, the humidity often hits 99% on the hydrometer in my living room (it doesn't go up to 100%).
Las Vegas Strip , the heat is horrid
Death Valley on holiday, and Qatar in July for work, but the worst was Gillingham away 2008ish (?) for sheer brutal unrelenting heat. :-)
Delhi, where I remember stepping out of the air conditioned hotel into the baking heat on the street
Death Valley where they advise turning off the A/C in the car to avoid the engine overheating!
Adelaide - 46.8 degrees, their hottest ever day and my first summer in Australia :puke:
Marmaris Turkey the Mrs had heatstroke.
And a different kind of heat in Orleans in USA just impossible not to sweat with the humidity.
Surabaya, Indonesia
The humidity is something else.
Dubai in June. The air is wet!!
Malta at the end of June. Very uncomfortable.
However, go in mid September to the end of October and it's still very warm but a different sort of heat. Lovely.
So far we've got Australia, UAE, Turkey, Gillingham.... :hehe:
I can remember the tarmac road melting about 20 years ago in Turkey!
Interesting comments about humidity above. I can cope with dry heat much better than humid heat. For some people I know it is the other way around.
