Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To

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!

Uluru Australia probably the hottest place and the flies were awful but Cairns on the coast was more uncomfortable because of the humidity

Re: Hottest Place You Have Ever Been To

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.

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.

To be honest, I have not met many people who say they can cope better with humid heat than dry heat.

After a shower, I often have to stand in front of a fan while attempting to towel myself dry. Then when I'm trying to take off a t-shirt, I sometimes need someone to help me pull it off!

New York. When it's 103F, humid as **** and the heat just radiates off all the concrete and asphalt.

I agree about humidity but I find it's exactly the same with cold. When it's cold here in the winter it's damp and miserable but when I lived in Berlin the winters were much colder but generally crisp and dry ( No cooking oil lol)
I can recall shovelling snow in the sunshine in a temp of -10 in a tee shirt.

That's bang on. Add in the fact that it's so windy in cardiff, that really gets into your bones. I have a polish mate who says exactly the same as you do. He lived on the Russian border and although very cold, it was dry and calm.
