What's the highest recorded temperature in your country/state?

@cherokeepatti sounds like a hot year. I'm sure any ac would've been a life saver

@caPnAhab The summer of 1980 was a record setter here in Oklahoma. We had 100 or more temperatures almost every day from the middle of June till September. Horrible heat and I had no a/c in my house. I’d wake up in the middle of the night to get a glass of ice water and touch the wall in the kitchen and it would be hot. It was stifling hot. Had a fan and a water cooler and they helped but it was still miserable. I had no a/c in my car either and if I wanted to go to town to get groceries I would wake up early and leave and get to the bank as soon as it opened, then go to the stores and get food, maybe stop for a cold drink at a convenience store and get home by 10 a.m. and it was hot in the car with the windows rolled down.

@cherokeepatti that death valley temp was never verified. Most people use last years 130° which was tied the year before though and which is still the worlds record.

@DeWayfarer ah, thank you for the correction

@SW-User ☠️

@YMITheWayIM How do you cool down when it’s that hot there? Yikes.

@cherokeepatti Well 52.8 is just the record set by one of the cities in my nation. My native city never went above 50. I was playing with ice all the day when that happened back in the June of 1995.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah no big deal, I was absolutely shocked when I saw 2021...

I felt a bit better seeing that it was supposively longer ago.

@bijouxbroussard I was going to say: I think the California record is not only the U.S. record, but probably the world record as well. 😧

@bijouxbroussard absolutely insane !
