I thought this was a pretty interesting list to browse through.

When i was in the Persian Gulf.....there was a cargo ship with 54 or so containers in a hold below decks. We took infared temp measurements. The temp read 144 to 146 F. It was a long day that day.

I remember cruising around town with my dad in June 1990 in Phoenix when it hit 122 that was fun...

I always told people that visited that it wasn't that bad until it was over 112 but most people couldn't stand it over 100...

Fastest temperature rise: 27 °C (49 °F) in 2 minutes

That must have been pretty weird to experience!

Lots of interesting statistics on that page, like the one about getting almost 6ft of rain in a 24 hour period...

About the opposite of what we see here with hail storms.... Dropping 20-30 degrees in under 10 minutes. Last week I saw a 40 degree temp drop in just under 15 minutes.

They have a temp drop record on the page as well.


I also love seeing people wearing heavy clothes in what I consider "shorts" weather.

Really. Talk about freaking people out!

Valle Crucis, North Carolina is where my family home has been for generations. It's located in the mountains besides a 70 foot valley. There is a one foot deep "creek" running along the bottom of that valley. In the past 100 years, it has flooded the house (on TOP of the mountain) by flash floods (read - one day rain storm) twice! So a valley (pretty large one at that) several miles long, gets full in less than a day... that is some freaky stuff.

I have some family I regularly visit down in Florida around Christmas and love to remind them that they don't need sweaters in 65 degree weather. I also enjoy the crazy ass looks you get walking around in a t-shirt and shorts.

+1 we were in Phoenix in early spring, and everyone was running around in winter coats... it was like 70 degrees.
