Coldest was -44°C when I was working as a northern lights guide in Norway. We'd always take our tour groups to areas with a high likelihood of polar activity, and once the whole coast was widely overcast so that we had to drive almost to the Finnish border. Camped out along the road towards Kilpisjärvi coming from Skibotn (company was based in Tromso).
Hottest was +45°C in Lagos, Nigeria. Used to work there as well for a good while.
I've been outside working in -34° C, and likewise 54.4° C. That's -30° F and 130° F for those of us who use imperial.
The negative temp was Alaska, and the high positive was the Arabian Gulf. Good times.
I'm close to you. 118F in Colorado, -30 in Chicago during the polar vortex. I had icicles in my beard within minutes, it was gnarly.
47.5° (117.5 F) in Phoenix AZ USA summer.
-11.6° (11 F) in Flagstaff AZ USA winter.
Hottest would be 41°C, in 2003 and last year (France)
Coldest, -35°C, Québec Carnaval in 2016. I stayed about two hours in that temperature, I started to have cold burn in my fingers and my toes.
Would take -35 over 41 all day.
Coldest was about -45°C, hottest was about +45°C. We've got quite the range where I live, though usually it's closer to -30 and +30, those were just extreme cases lol.
Coldest was about -45°C
jesus where was this, the arctic?
Canada
hey you're the guy who didn't shit for 3 days! how was the sex party?
I know you said indoor temperatures don’t count, but my low is kinda fun: -110c for three minutes (cryotherapy). Outdoor was 48c (local thermometer said higher) in northern Western Australia.
I know nothing about cryotherapy: were you awake for that?? What was the experience like?
-45°C in central Alberta in the 90’s, +45° C in California in the 80’s.
Hottest was 115 F (46C) in Phoenix, Arizona. Coolest was -55 F (-48C) in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I think the wind chill was around -85 F.
-43c / +46c
Probably going to be more hotter seasons and never going to experience the -40s again with the way climate change is going…
-40C and +40C. Both in the same place and in the same year. Fuckin save me.
Hottest 43°C. Coldest somewhere around -20°C.
Hottest was just under 54° (128.6°F) in Kuwait. I went for a run just to say I was the only person to go for a run in the hottest day in human history so far.
I think it got down to -29 (-20) in Albany NY one year but I'm looking for colder experiences soon.
Hottest: 37°C
Coldest: -25°C (-40°C with windchill)
Both in Toronto
Coldest would be -60C, warmest about 40C. Funnily enough, these were in the same place (Canada).
Hottest? Somewhere around 50C. Coldest? -25C.
Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.
My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.
My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That's going to be fun...
Bout -40C (that's thermometer, not "feels like") and +40C. We have temperature swings.
Coldest: -20º Vilnius Hottest: 47º Sevilla
Hottest 48°C (52°C Apparent temperature) Chaco region, Paraguay
Coldest 0°C Paraguay (it doesn't get extremely cold here)
I think coldest was -18°C during the coldest winter we've had, curiously it didn't even feel that cold when walking outside but that might be because there was no wind and you started feeling the coldness inside you instead of outside.
Hottest is I believe around 40°C but that one's not as crazy so I'm not really sure of the actual figure, probably higher or lower by a small amount of degrees.
Coldest: -30°C.
Hottest: 52°C.
50C and -40C. Within 1 week of each other on different continents.
Coldest is probably around 20°C (but it feels a lot colder due to fog and wind).
Hottest is roughly 35°C (feels a lot hotter due to humidity and lack of wind).
I haven't traveled far though, and never outside the country.
I’ve slept outside in a very basic shelter I made with branches and snow at -44°C. I’ve biked long distances over many days during a heat wave when the temperature was 38°C average and highs of 40°C.
Hottest was somewhere between 115F and 120F (46.2C and 48.9C)
Coldest was -30F with a windchill of -55F (-34.4C with windchill of -48.3C)
Albertan who works as a line cook?
Wisconsinite who has lived in Vegas, but close!
Loved for a little in Lapland, Finland. What’s that. Like -20c in winter?
Hottest would be where I line now, Australia. Mid 40’s C is common where I am.
Hottest was easily over 50°C. I live in a hot and humid place, so it is even hotter than your typical 50°C. And it's hell. Really good if you're on the beach (assuming you manage to avoid insolation), but being home and having to work is the absolute worst I don't wish to anyone.
Coldest was maybe 15-18°C? I was travelling to a not so cold neighboring state and it was quite good, actually. I prefer the weather like this.
Coldest: -10F - Camping trip to the lava beds in Oregon when I was a Boy Scout.
Hottest: 112F - Just going out to get the mail. Yesterday.
Hottest is about 115F (45C) and coldest is -2 or 3F (-20C). Both were in Dallas, Texas.
Hottest was in Iraq at like 120 F
Hottest was about 56C when I ran the Badwater race through Death Valley. Coldest was about -27 when I was in Idaho…tried to jog that day too but couldn’t take the burn in my lungs.
118F -42F. Both extremes experienced in northern Nevada.
Hottest, in the early '90s I worked for a technical trade school as a lab instructor in Phoenix, AZ. My commute was by motorcycle from Tempe, AZ. In the heat of one summer it got to near 120F outside one day, and wearing motorcycle gear plus the heat from the motor made me feel like I was going to pass out from extreme heat exhaustion (but luckily, I didn't).
Hottest:42C
Coldest:0C with rain
Im hoping to experience snow for the first time in my life this winter tho
The hottest I've been in was 117°F (47.2°C) when I lived in Las Vegas. Was actually slated for a 10 mile run that day, but it was mercifully cut down to 4 miles.
Coldest without windchill would be -35°F (-37°C), just a couple of winters ago. I'm surprised it's not lower, not too far from here a city set the state record at -60°F (-51°C) not too long ago.
I suppose you've never seen snow then? Definitely try if you get some chance. I wish it snowed more often where I live.
I have no idea what the coolest temp has been for me, but probably around -10C?
40ish C and -30ish. Neither extreme is very fun.
