-44 C (-47 Fah) that was measured in 1999. Ours wasn't the coldest place, thought. That same winter a place further up north experienced -51,5 C (-59,8 Fah). I honestly don't miss winters like that. Our plumbing froze, and we had to melt snow, and filter and boil that to have drinking water.

Hottest I remember was actually +32 C (89,6 Fah), just last year in July. I remember it well, because it went on for 2 weeks straight, highly unusual here. People aren't really used to that sort of heat here, we usually average around +25 (77 Fah) during the summer. Me and my bare feet definitely welcomed that.

 

hottest? fuck if i know.

coldest? every time i ask a girl out.

 

My ideal climate would be a climate with an average temperature around -15°C in the coldest month and an average temperature around +20°C in the hottest month. I just like the idea of having to put lots of clothes on me to warm up in winter. I am an intense cold lover and climates with mild winters bore me.

 

Do they all reject you?

 

nah, some just run away screaming.

 

For me 108 Fahrenheit is the hottest I've ever been in. Coldest was - 6 .

 

110 in the western US. But I've had more problems at 95 with high humidity in the south

-20 in the Rocky Mountains

 

They usually act like I don't exist when I try to talk to them. At university, for instance, I tried to talk but they acted like I didn't exist. Simple.

 

lowest was about -18f, heading accross utah desert on highway 50 some time in a winter in the early 1970s.
highest was somewhere above 111f, maybe closer to 121f, that was in late summer in a miserably humid sacramento.
(pick a year, any year, but the first time i remember was in the mid 1950s)

 

I roofed in 113 above and 14 below.

 

When I was trucking in 1983 I was hauling a load of apples going from the Yakima & Wenatchee Washington area to Denver Colorado. When I crossed from Idaho to Wyoming on US Highway 30 I had to stop for the port of Entry at Kemmerer. The thermometer on the outside of the building indicated an actual temperature of minus 49F. That was not wind chill factor but the real temperature. That same week I experienced actual temperature in the Colorado Rockies of minus 53F. At my house in Fort Collins it was minus 38F. That week all our water pipes froze and broke. That same week Colorado recorded its coldest ever temperature at Maybell near Craig and that was minus 61F. I don't remember the hottest but I was in Libya in 1967 when the asphalt road turned to liquid.

 

At 113 on top of that roof you were roofing and roasting at the same time, huh?

 

I was spraying the shake roof with wood preservative after having power washed it and repairing it and I felt myself sliding downhill. The glue holding the soles on my shoes melted and I slid off them!! I packed up and came back the next day with boots on and finished up!!

 

I

f outside temp was 113F them the top of the roof must have been 147F? You know what I'm talking about?

 

I sure do. Stated temps are taken in the shade. In the sun it's about 25 to 30 degrees hotter.

 

I am glad that we live in the UK, I hate the heat and I am not too fond of the cold either.
10 centigrade overnight and 18 by day suits me fine.

 

-15 & 105/humid

Both seemed pretty extreme to me. Way out of comfort! After a night of -15, the car didn't want to even crank. I couldn't even move the gearshift lever! The heating fuel oil gelled in the line and the boiler quit. No fun!
