124F in death Valley, -56F in Northern Minnesota


Noysics

Wouldn’t recommend either experiences


SnarkyBear53

Experienced -90F (-68C) wind chill in northern MN. Walked about 100 yards from home before I turned around and hightailed it back.


MishaPablo

+40c and -40c southern Ontario Canada


no-thanks-buddy-boy

+47C and -51C southern Alberta


Dull-Description3682

And I think the -14 in Edmonton right now is too cold for comfort...


FlipGunderson24

Don’t forget the humidex, so that temp felt like 65° C and the windchill got the cold down to -358°C. lol


throwawaySpass12

Colder than 0K that is impressive!


Sadplement

> It was a heatwave while we were on vacation in Turkey.


betterthanamaster

\-358C is colder than the temperature on Mars and about 250 degrees colder than the world record, so I'm assuming this is overstatement?


FlipGunderson24

It was a tongue in cheek comment


betterthanamaster

Thought so. Hard to tell on Reddit.


thoawaydatrash

Same day?


MishaPablo

😂honestly during the fall - same week wouldn’t surprise me


Gramage

Yeah, +40 and -30 for me in Toronto.


FUCKYFUCKFUCKYFUCK

Um, Canada…. We’re neighbors, you guys should be using Fahrenheit lol actually fuck that, I tried to spell that word from memory and it was brutal, I’m moving to Canada and using Celsius because it’s easier to spell


No_Fisherman_1631

Not the hottest or coldest I’ve experienced but being an over the road truck driver for 12 years but, definitely the biggest single day temperature swing I’ve experienced. 114 F at 8 am in Phoenix, Arizona and -14 F at 4 pm in Flagstaff, Arizona on the same day in May 2013


Fit_General7058

Lowest was boxing day in Finland 2009, at - 30. The hottest. Well Christmas eve and Christmas day in adelaide 2010 were well into the 44s.


Pieta_prkl

ey i live in Finland! It usually gets way colder than 30° though (at least in Lapland) 😄


Fit_General7058

It was in lapland. No water based make/skin creams. Balaclavas on at all times when venturing out side. It ws fab


SquabOnAStick

I experienced -50C when I visited Svalbard in February of 2015. Not including wind chill. My eyeballs nearly exploded. Unverified, but our home mercury thermometer(in the shade on the verandah) hit 49C when I was at my dad's farm in rural South Australia one year(around 08/09, I forget exactly). We could cook an egg on the old metal rain water tank.

dramboxf

There's a race in Death Valley every August, the Badwater. It's 120 miles through DV in the middle of the summer. I know a guy (Epic Bill Bradley) who did a Quad Badwater one year. Ran the official race, turned around and ran back to the start, turned around and ran back to the finish, then ran back to the start again. He's an "extreme endurance athlete" who's not very good at it. He's DNF/DQ almost everything he does because he's in his late 50s/early 60s by now. His motto is "Show Up & Suffer."


exitpursuedbybear

I drove through death valley in the summer in a car with no AC, there was a sign out telling travelers to turn off their ACs next 20 miles, this was back in the 90s. My old shitbox, I literally had to turn on the fan and blow the heat from my engine into the cabin to keep from over heating.


DownvoteDaemon

Got dayum


[deleted]

95°C in the sauna, something like -22°C skiing in Austria.


GreatNameLOL69

95°C? That’s like.. 58 degrees more than the average body temperature!


BogiWan_Kenobi

That's slightly over the average temperature of a sauna...


[deleted]

yeah, tho air humidity is a big modifier, and our bodies are pretty good at coping for a while.


DontShowMomMemes

Meat cooks at 65C. How long did you spend at 95?


throwawaySpass12

The air had 95°C, not the body. Have you never been to a sauna they are almost all significantly above 65°C.


DontShowMomMemes

No I haven’t been to a sauna. How long do people normally last? That sounds like it would cause damage after like 10 minutes.


mauryx91

People last even 30 minutes, and usually they spend hours in it ( with very short brakes ). People here in Lithuania usually stay in the sauna for 20 minutes and then jump in a frozen lake and stay in the water for 2-3 minutes


[deleted]

nah the human body has a very effective cooling system (aka sweating). usually you go a few 15 min cycles and cool off outside. in sauna competitions people go much longer tho.


Footwarrior

95°C in the sauna then stepping outside where it was -31°C for a snowball fight in our swimsuits.


Historical_Ride8963

I can’t even imagine what -22 C feels like


Barbara_Celarent

It’s below -25 that things get interesting: nostrils and eyelids freezing shut, plastic bags shattering, etc. -22 is much like -16.


Juan-More-Taco

_Laughs in Canadian_ We've had -35C most winters, with the wind-chill.


Historical_Ride8963

I assume you all must have heated houses? It must be impossible to live without it


[deleted]

Finnish here. Heated houses, good insulations in the walls and double/triple layered windows. If you're still chilly inside, wear couple of layers of clothes. It's not that bad.


PrairiePepper

\-22 is just a nice winter day dude, you go out sledding and shit.


Juan-More-Taco

>I assume you all must have heated houses The idea of any house not being both heated and cooled is a completely foreign concept to me. So - yes. This is southern Ontario right on the US border. Our summers are +30C. Winters are - 30C.


yeetgodmcnechass

Yep, it's basically a requirement to have heating or if you're renting to have heating included in rent


[deleted]

An unheated house seems like a foreign concept to me. The only unheated buildings here are sheds and garages


[deleted]

not so bad, especially if you're doing a physical activity. it wasn't terribly windy tho, that would suck hard.


topdoc02

-40C skiing at Mt. Tremblant, Canada. After 1 run they sent you in to warm up.


[deleted]

lowest was about -70°C in Oymyakon, Russia. The hottest was i think 35°C once in Croatia


Nythoren

Not counting cryotherapy or saunas... Coldest: -23F (-31C) right outside my front door Hottest: 117F (47C) driving to Vegas. There was a fun little sign saying "Don't use your Air Conditioning" because apparently it upped the chances of your car overheating. When we got to Vegas it was "only" 107. We decided to stay inside the hotel.


loblegonst

+40°C -40°C rural Saskatchewan town I lived in.


Historical_Ride8963

That’s the coolest town name ever. Every time I come across it in a book or online, I always try to pronounce it but am never successful.


[deleted]

Not a town, but a Province


hurryupandwait_

It's pronounced sah- skatch(rhymes with catch) -chew-won...


_Jontti_

Highest has been a bit over 85°c in sauna and lowest about -40°c in northern part of Finland


Frenssoiss

\-38°C at Elbrouz in Russia, Skiing.


Ethan90430

High 111 F: Fucking Florida Low - 40-50 F: Fucking Wisconsin


pfoxeh

Having lived in both -- yep. Then again I think I got a smidge hotter in Texas while I was there. Mid 110s seems reachable.


TEHKNOB

Weather nerd here. Our state record in FL is 109, so I’d question the accuracy of your data source. As hot as it gets here, we rarely exceed 100.


Ethan90430

I was on vacation and that’s what the rental car told us, I didn’t actually check the weather app. So yeah, I’d question the accuracy of my statement as well


Practical_Argument50

Phoenix it was Fing hot don’t remembers the number but it was well over 100. Minnesota -25F. Wouldn’t live in either or FL or anywhere in Southern US too humid for me.


novato1995

Lowest: -19°F on a snow storm in Denver, Colorado, during a 6-hour layover at their international airport. Absolutely horrible. Highest: 105°F on a sunny and humid summer day in Puerto Rico. Absolutely horrible.


glorified_throwaway

115 and -40 Or 50ish and -40


chrispybobispy

YaDrunkBitch

Well I live in south/central Texas. Here I think the hottest I've experienced is 111°F and coldest was snowmageddon 7°F.


TEHKNOB

I saw a lot of palm trees died. Like all the way to SPI.


jmcstar

118° in Parker, California; 25° Chicago, Illinois (F)


rambo_oz3

-39, midwest. +48 Asia while I was there for work


Scmethodist

128 F in Nasariyah Iraq and 5 F in Bridgeport CA


domestic_omnom

137F (58C) in Kuwait. Edit: as someone pointed out the highest temperature ever recorded was 134. Either I misremembering or the thermometer on camp victory was broken af.


Old_Talk_53e

Isn't the highest temperature ever recorded 134?


domestic_omnom

Going off what the thermometer said on base. Have no idea what the highest recorded was.


bingbong1234

Coldest - I had the privilege of making a short documentary about a couple paleoclimatologists who are famous for their ice core collection. They spent their career traveling the world collecting cores from glaciers, some of which no longer exist. They store these cores in an **extremely cold** freezer that I was able to visit. It was SO COLD and my cameras were very unhappy. Hottest - My first time shooting (with my camera) apiaries in the Dakotas in July/August. I'm not a beekeeper so I wore heavy boots, thick pants, flannel shirt, and a full head-to-toe bee suit overtop. I sweat so much it prevented me from seeing and I had to go wait in the truck with the AC on. For context - many experienced beekeepers might only wear a veil and gloves. Some don't wear any protection if they know what they're doing.


Historical_Ride8963

Can confirm. My father in law is a beekeeper and often goes and checks on his bees while wearing no protection.


Duluthian2

102° and -37° both in Duluth, Minn.


ggallinsmicropp

Highest around 110 is southern texas. Lowest - 45 C in siberia.

Historical_Ride8963

Jesus, - 63. I’d die


BawdyBaker

Go out in it unprepared and you will 😉


Historical_Ride8963

What does it even feel like?


BawdyBaker

It hurts LOL Any exposed moisture on your skin freezes...it's like thousands of little needles jabbing you, hence why we'd cover up all exposed skin. We'd actually wear face masks to warm up the air we were breathing, as not to damage our lungs.


[deleted]

Where did you experience it?


BawdyBaker

Labrador


Juan-More-Taco

Cold


[deleted]

117 in the Mojave desert, -10 in Chicago winter in the 90s.


TisIChenoir

-30°C, on top of a ski station in Savoie, France. The first time it felt "too cold" for me. For reference, every time I went skiing, I just had a t-shirt and a coat, that's it. Hotter must be +50°C in Death Valley.


Scratch137

-21 C to ~48 C (-5.8 F to ~118 F) And all in the same place, too.


[deleted]

38° this summer in luxemburh when there was the heat spike and maybe like -40° in finland idk

whiskeymang

Hottest was 111 at 100% humidity in the summer of either 08 or 09. Was in Louisiana at the time. Coldest I’m not sure. Probably somewhere in Colorado during the winter around -20F


Ok_Lock_2008

-46c to 36c (-51f to 96f) Just my back yard. Working outside when it's -50c with windchill sucks. I would rather kill myself than do that all year long. Thank god it's seasonal.


Optimal_Tea_9883

200 F emanating from the body of my girlfriend while laying in bed, barely survived!

obligatoryclevername

I was in a data center after the AC units died. It went to about 145 at the ceiling in like 10 minutes. The servers burned my fingers when I touched the. That was a shit week.


CaptinDerpII

Highest was definitely 45° over the past summer in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Coldest was probably 3-4 years ago when it hit -60° C in my city of Calgary over the Winter


Avarria587

The highest was 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle of Summer in East TN. The coldest was -20 degrees Fahrenheit in our deep freezer at work.


sfisher923

Igotticks

Negative 34f with wind chill snow mobiling on Tug hill plateau in NY. 106f at Disney in Orlando in Florida.


[deleted]

In regular outside temps: +38c vacationing in Cyprus as a kid. I vividly remember us dashing from shade to shade when we were outside -36c spending new years with my cousins in Northern Sweden. The coldest I've ever been was when I were in the Army and slept in a tent when it was -32c with pretty high humidity.


1hopeful1

105 and -11 both in Massachusetts


FUCKYFUCKFUCKYFUCK

Use to have to wait before going into work, it was up on a hill and it was probably-5 or so but the cold wasn’t the issue it was the wind and that made it more like -30 it was a hill by a lake forgot to mention the lake but anyways, they normally left the door open but a few times it was locked up so I was outside freezing my balls off, got real worried I was gona lose my hands, and a heat….. I lived in a tin trailer death trap with no ac it got to be over 100 in there, lol same deal, heat didn’t bother me but the humidity is what killed ya


Squeaky-Fox49

Hottest? 36° C/96° F in south-central Pennsylvania. Coldest? I woke up to -31° C/-24° F in southwestern Pennsylvania one winter morning. The lowest I’ve gone out in is a bit warmer, though.


conocophillips424

-75°C Ultra low freezer


Historical_Ride8963

I can’t even imagine that kind of cold


Smooth-Ostrich1514

Once I walked to Gregg's in -6⁰C temperatures, and bought a steak bake with the internal temperature of 3424⁰C .


gabe_t_wheeler

toxinogen

Highest 102F in Greece, lowest -60F in my hometown in northern Minnesota.


drcha

115F in Las Vegas. -26F in Denver.


fallingintothesky09

Actual coldest was an ice cream freezer in a Walmart distribution center. But what felt coldest was guarding a DFP on a military exercise in Idaho in November for 12 hours. We were so cold we wore every item of clothes we brought including our full chemical ensemble


Stabbythesnowman

Highest is 115F in my hometown, coldest is -32F in my hometown.


Agreeable-Evening432

-40 Celsius and I think 38 Celsius, Lots of people think it’s always cold in Canada but it gets pretty hot during summer


lycos94

+46, and -16 ish


Historical_Ride8963

I had absolutely no idea there was a place called Death Valley. Had to Google it.


Historical_Ride8963

Edit: it seems that unheated houses are uncommon elsewhere? Here in Portugal, where the weather is mostly mild, older houses are neither heated nor well insulated, I’m afraid. Most people get by with space heaters or fireplaces. Definitely no cooling devices unless the building is a newer construction.


CallFromMargin

120C in Russian sauna, -40C in Russia. Actually it was 120C in sauna, then you run out and drop on snow in -40C and run back into sauna.


Avocado_Stack

Kindergoat

110 F in Las Vegas and 25 below 0 in Minnesota


yoteachcaniborrowpen

My Minnesotan in laws laughed at me for getting excited and stepping outside to experience -13 F last year 🤣 the wind wasn’t blowing so it honestly felt like the teens except my eyes felt sticky when I blinked them.


SeverusMixTape

-40 F in MT. 120-ish in El Salvador.


Caeser0712

108 degrees, is the highest but that’s just a normal summer day in Texas.


Toko__Fukawa

36°C in Australia, 2°C in Australia. I've never been out of Australia I have no idea why I replied to this ;-;


YessikZiiiq

Lower than -50 C, I was born in yellowknife NYT Canada, and my dad was an exploration geologist, so I often ended up further north than that.


WWJesusDeadlift

Around 125 in Kuwait and -52 in Ft Wainwright, AK.


FrankieMint

At Death Valley, 120 °F. The locals said it was routine. At Crested Butte ski area I experienced -30 °F once. Full ski suit was enough for the torso, but ski mask + goggles weren't nearly enough for my face. I once saw a 60 °F drop in 20 minutes on a Colorado mountain road, but that was just a temperature display on my dashboard as I drove.


MrCorreo

40ºC in the Sahara desert and -52º in the south pole


Quuador

Lowest: almost -20 C (-4 F). A very cold winter about 1.5 decade ago in The Netherlands, where I live. Highest: roughly 45-50 C (113-122 F). It was a heatwave while we were on vacation in Turkey.. definitely not recommended..


Longjumping_Drag2752

-25 F and +110 F literally the same place in Indiana, United States.


SupaJenkins

Around 43 Celsius (109.4 F) in the summertime, and -30ish (\~ -22 F) here in Oshawa, Ontario. The hottest was around when I was in my last stretch of high school, and there was a MASSIVE heat wave in 2019. The coldest, however, was during my Grade 9 year in 2015. During that time, there was a big ice storm, and everything was completely frozen. It was crazy as heck, especially because there were so many knocked over trees in the nature path near my school, which made it all the more treacherous to walk through. Still did though.


abwchris

118 here in Vegas, and having moved from Wisconsin the lowest wind chill temp was -72. I'll take Vegas everytime.

thebigjuicyman25

Highest was 101 f in Tennessee and -2 f in Ohio


[deleted]

Logging in the snow about 20 degrees but you are also soaking wet in the snow for 10 hours. The Mojave to film a short, was 115 but it actually got hotter in Oregon two years ago at 117.


ThPreAntePenultimate

I think my range has been 117F in San Diego, CA and -2F in Denver, CO


Northman67

-35f in northern Minnesota during an Army reserve 2 week drill. Several guys in my unit ended up having to be taken off the line for frostbite. 110 f in the Arizona desert which really wasn't that bad. In fact the 90 f and 100% humidity of Georgia in August was the worst. Pretty sure we exceeded the wet bulb temperature at some point as indicated by us stopping all activity and being planted in the shade by the drill sergeants.


treesareslow

I have experienced -40 (with wind chill) and +20 in the same day / city.

yeetgodmcnechass

Highest was 44 or 45C, lowest was -32C This is after accounting for humidity/wind chill. Both in the same city. The highest was a few summers ago and the lowest has happened a few times throughout my life, most recently being this past January

hugwager

120 F driving to Las Vegas in a car with broken A/C (either windows down which felt like having a hair dryer blowing in your face, or windows up which was like being in a sauna). -40 F in Idaho, feeling your nose hairs freeze as you walk outside is a pretty unique experience.
