Hottest either BR or Dallas sometime summer 2023.
Yeah I’ve never clocked a higher temp in Dallas than I know I’ve experienced at home but Dallas is hell, particularly when you’re in one of its many concrete jungles. Dallas is hot.

Really? There are places much further north that get way colder with similar humidity.

Hottest (feel) - tennis courts at Berwick, LA HS circa early 90s.

Coldest - summit of Pack Monadnock
Peak Mtn, NH. Have been in 5°F and it felt much colder on top of that mtn.

Coldest - Gatlinburg 0 degrees, sat in hot tub in the wide open while snowing
Hottest - Theodore Roosevelt lake Arizona - I got a tan in 5 minutes - 118 degrees
Coldest feel - 23 degrees one night while on Bourbon Street in NOLA - felt like standing in 23 degree water.

Kuwait in August was absurd.

It got within spitting distance of the hottest temperatures ever recorded anywhere on earth a few days when I was there. Now that I actually looked, Mitribah, Kuwait apparently has the second-hottest recorded temperature ever (to be clear, not when I was there) and isn't far from where I was.

Cold is more relative to me. A sustained 38 and damp and windy is cold as hell if you're out there for 12 hours or longer. Different kind of cold than living somewhere where it gets 20 below but dry and you spend the vast majority of that time indoors. That being said, some of the Chicago vortexes in the late 2010's (want to say 2017 and 2019) were unforgettable. The high deserts out West (like central Washington, Oregon, and Nevada) get absolutely cold as frick in the winter - those are brutal.

Hottest real temp: Odessa, TX - 116° a couple summers ago.
Hottest feel: Montegut, LA - felt like Satan’s arse crack.

Coldest real temp: also Odessa, TX - 11°

Coldest feel: offshore December 2016. 37° and raining with 55mph winds and gusts around 65 mph. I don’t know how cold it felt, but i wanted to shoot myself.

Hottest was Key West, Florida in August 2001. One of the airlines had a sale with a round trip from New Orleans to Miami being $120 each. Wife and I took a "spur of the moment" trip and quickly learned why the air fare was so cheap. It was oppressively hot, and the humidity felt like it stayed at 100% the entire time.

Although not the absolute coldest I've been, I "near about froze to death" in San Francisco in June 2013. It was my fault for not investigating prior to flying, and the first thing I did upon arrival is to buy a jacket. I expected the weather to be closer to that of Seattle, which I'd visited in 2009, but I was very, very, WRONG. On my last day there, between the cold temperature, and more than 20 naked guys riding bikes at Fisherman's Wharf, I took it as God's subtle way of saying it was time to leave.

Wyoming or near the top of the rocky mountains were both really cold.

The hottest might have been east texas. I don't know how hot it was, but I know the heat index was over 100, but that was rough heat.

Hottest: Death Valley, CA

Coldest: Talkeetna, AK

Don't let anyone tell you a "dry heat" of 125F is better than the wet heat of even the Keys. It's like being in an oven.

Hottest was Phoenix and coldest was Charlotte. I played basketball outside in Phoenix that day and duck hunted in Charlotte that morning.

117 in Phoenix and 9 in Charlotte. I remember it being 7 in Charlotte on the Lake that morning.

Out of all the bro science takes, this one is actually true. Really windy and rainy just above freezing is the coldest it gets.

Hottest was probably a couple summers ago in Houston or New Delhi in August.

Coldest was the AG warehouse freezer section where they stored ice cream.
