Hottest and lowest temps ever recorded on Earth.

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...

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.

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.

worst I have been in was 135 in phoenix on the ramp at the airport. walking to the place felt like the soles of your shoes were gum.
