I have been to Israel and Jordan in an August. It was about over 40 degrees in Eilat and Aqaba on the Red Sea. It was even hotter in Petra out in the desert like landscape. It was a dry sort of heat.
Another very hot place I went to was Darwin in Australia in a January. It was the wet season. It was incredibly hot and humid. It was a sticky sort of heat and it made me sweat.
Which is the hottest place that you have been to?
What was it like there?

responses and comments:
The hottest place I have ever been is where I live in Arizona. It is regularly in the 100s/110s F (38-44 C) as early as May and as late as September. It is pretty much a dry heat here, which is pretty tolerable compared to humid areas that even only get to 80. It can be nice, though, when we get monsoon storms in July/August, but we have not really got any this year. [antarcticpostcards]
Yes, I think it would be difficult to handle living there. A visit is memorable and just about bearable. [maximax8]
The hottest place I have visited was Tu Lu Fan in Xinjiang province of China. The day high degree was over 50 degree. I felt I was almost melted. The hot sun and the white desert made me feeling burn as fire. After the trip I decided not go there anymore. It's not pleasant, in fact it was a torture. I was curious to go there. Now I know curiosity kills the cat. [sblossom]
Oh my! Over 50 degrees was really hot so 'torture' is a superb description. It is great to be curious. When I was in Jerusalem people said I would be mad to go to Eilat. I guess China can have some extreme temperatures in some of its regions. [maximax8]
Hi Maximax, right here at home has been the hottest place I've ever felt for the last month or so, it is not just the 40 + heat some days but the humidity that comes with it. Stepping outside is like walking into something physical as the heat hits one like an actual wall. When it is relentless as it has been here, with no breeze and no escape it does feel like the hottest place ever. [thea09]
June Maximax, you felt it a bit hot in JUNE. Try August, and believe me I've seen much much worse than burnt shoulders. [thea09]
Kenya, hot enough to boil a monkey's bum! all the best urban [urbandekay]
Even hotter over by Lake Victoria, thinks I all the best urban [urbandekay]
Hi Maxima! Bangladesh and India are hot countries. Our temperature goes to 42 degree C. This is one of the moderately highest temperature. I also come across close to 40 degree C in Dubai and Mecca. Have a nice day. [aminul8427]
Hi Maxima! Thank you very much for your nice words. Mecca is a holy place for Muslims. First father of human being & prophet Adam constructed this Kaba in Mecca (house of God for worship) following the instruction of God. There after the Kaba was damaged by flood during prophet Nuhu (peace be upon him). After that Prophet Ibrahim (in Bible prophet Abraham)(peace be upon him) repaired the Kaba in the same place. Muslims perform Holy Hajj in Kaba. Have a very nice day. [aminul8427]
For me that is our commercial capital Colombo-Sri Lanka.Sometimes it is around 37 degrees of Celsius.But i didn't stay for a long period of time because of that and security reasons but we are free from terrorism we go there happily. [yohandanu]
That sounds really hot in the city. The beaches to the south of Colombo look really inviting in photos. I would love to visit Sri Lanka one day. I am so sorry to hear about any terrorist threats. Good luck. [maximax8]
The hottest place I've been is Florida in the summer. The heat and humidity there can be killer in the mid summer! My husband and I went there this year for our honeymoon and I went there a few years ago to Disney world. Both times the humidity was just unbearable! And the temps were pretty darn hot in the mid 90s too! [Jennlk84]
A lady from Florida moved to the UK and found the weather really cold, even the summer. Yes, the heat and humidity there sounds really powerful. I hope that you ad your husband had an excellent honeymoon. [maximax8]
the hottest place i have been to is goa....its very beautuful.everything there is just awsome..all the sea beaches are so good that one can have great pleasure over there with a mixture of 3 S formulas i.e sand, sea and sun.and the people there are very good in terms of nature and goa is a complete holiday utilisation place.. [jasminedua2kin]
I would love to visit beautiful Goa. I can handle that kind of heat in a pretty coastal location. I have heard Kerala is also a stunning place to visit in wonderful India. [maximax8]
Hi maximax, I think the entire Middle East region gets boiling hot during summer. I went to Dubai at the height of summer and the temperature was an unbelieving 46 degrees.One feels so helpless, unable to do anything. The other equally hot place I have visited was Jamshedpur in India where the temperature was 41 degrees and that was very uncomfortable. I broke into heat rashes and had the urge to drink water every ten minutes .... [kiran8]
I guess the hottest place I've been to is Puerto Rico. It's a tropical island so gets very humid, which makes the heat even more unbearable. Temperatures have been over 99F / 37C . The humidity was crazy and my hair was super frizzy. Even the brief rain doesn't help. [realan]
I think it's Delhi, I was ill due to high temperature, then I came back to home because of high sun rays.... [sunithajp]
Gujarat ,a place in India near the deserts ,full of sand and hot air blowing all the time.I went their once to visit a few shrines/temples.It is the hottest place I have been to till date.Wonder how pop star Madonna could bear the heat when she came to India on vacation. [chosen9]
In 1991 I had seven days doing a tourist jaunt around India. I know that the temperature rose above 40 degrees Celsius during the time that we were in Delhi. I cannot be certain whether the temperature exceeded that elsewhere (it was also very hot in Agra), but I think that it was definitely in India where I experienced the hottest weather that I have ever known. [astonysh]
The hottest place I have been to was on the corragated iron roof of a large chicken farm, when it was being demolished. It was after the company I worked for went inoo recievership, so I took whatever was available. The temperature was forty, and on that roof about fidty. That was in Melbourne. [mipen2006]
The hottest place that I have been to is probably Death Valley, California in the United States. When my friends and I were there, the temperatures reached around 125 degrees Fahrenheit. We had to drink a lot of water to not get dehydrated. [virusxtreme24]
the hottest place i've been to is Limassol on the southern coast of Cyprus. i used to go there a lot and the temperature there in June and July often reaches 120 degrees or over. it's unbearable in places where there isn't air conditioning, i love hot places but that's just too hot for me. [OldhamLXVII]
The hottest places I've ever been to are Florida & Arizona. The longest I spend in Florida when I was a kid and that was during more moderate temps not full fledge summer heat. [3SnuggleBunnies]
The hottest place I have been to is Hongkong,the west side of the Pacific.I went there on October. It is one of the shopping centers in the world. [judywang1980]
Technically... New Mexico... although the heat wasn't as noticeable because the humidity was so different than what I am accustomed to. As for the NOTICEABLY hot.... Alabama. I remember it being 75F on the last day of February, and almost 91 on Halloween [zoey7879]
i am in india and the place i been to is hyderabad where the temp is close to 45 [kumarrai209]
The hottest place I've ever been to was Japan. It was so hot, I couldn't wait to go into any department so I could feel the air conditioning. I almost didn't want to travel and stay in the hotel but we paid for the tour already... [animegirl334]
my country place it self is very hot all the time, in my place it is very wonderful climate, in time of rain it is too hot and in case of summer hoildays it is raining time, i do not know the nature some times goes so crazy it is takes away all the calculations all the time sometimes the farmeers have to bear a huge loss there over [sathish2018]
does it have to be hot when we went there? do we have to really remember it? when I was 8, my folks drove us to Disneyland (California) at Christmas time. We drove thru Death Valley, but I started off the trip sick and wasn't quite right even then (the 3rd day) Just so you know - this was in 1961 [ElicBxn]
To me, it has to be New Delhi in 1998. There was a heat wave in India and people were literary dying from the heat. When I left my hotel room to go outside, I could feel the shearing heat. It was 49 degrees Celsius!You can imagine the heat. It was like working in a bakery! On the street, people were sweating profusely and many remove their shirts.I have not been to Darwin. However, some days the Malaysian weather can be intolerable. We had daily temperature up to 39 degrees Celsius with night temperature up to 35 degrees Celsius. Pretty hot to sleep without an air-conditioner or a swirling ceiling fan! [jonjee0203]
The hottest place I have ever been to was Corsica. The island under France. We were there for 4 weeks and the average temperature was 46 degrees. [naske14]
The hottest place that I have ever been to was Boston Massachusetts on the 4th of July. I know that Boston does not normally seem like a place that gets exceptionally hot, but that year it was 108 degrees while we were vacationing there. We walked for I don't know how many blocks, but it seemed like miles. It was a lot of fun though. Boston is a great city. I would recommend it to anyone traveling in the United States. [kykidd]
For me it was Bahrain. Part of the Middle East that we visited since my dad was working there. And my mom stays with my dad. It was summer that time and without AC, it would be impossible to live inside the house because it was way too hot like an oven, and your being toasted inside. [strawberrychocodahi]
maximax8 Try DEATH VALLY NEVADA in 1959, 123 degrees.talk about "HOT" you drive as fast as you can, just to get out of that vally. going from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Reno Nv. firemountain. [firemountain]
I have been through Death Valley and can imagine that it would be extremely hot there. It is an amazing place! I was there in April 1998, so it was perfect weather! It seemed really hot to us though as we had been living in the snow in Lake Tahoe for 4 months beforehand...lol [RawBill1]
I live in Australia, so I have been in temperatures ove 40 degrees many times! Where I live now, it rarely gets near 40 degrees but we have high humidity which makes it feel hotter than it is! Not as humid as Darwin though! :-) The hottest I have ever felt was when I visited Hong Kong. I am not sure what the temperature was, but the humidity was so bad!!! At the Great Wall Of China, I remember being extremely hot also, but it was a drier heat there! [RawBill1]
You don't know what 'hot' is until you live in the Middle East and experience the Summer months from around May to August, July and August being the worse. I lived and worked in the UAE for about 6 years when the place was not as developed as now, and used to dread this period. I remember one summer, it was around 45F with 98 percent humidty and the power went off! It was unbelievable. Without A/C or fan, we thought we were dying. We felt limp and strung up with no strength even to get up to drink a glass of water. My friend who couldn't bear it bought ice from a shop that had a generator and kept blocks of ice on her body. We were without power for 2 whole days and when I think of it now, I cannot imagine how we survived. [suesan35]
phoenix,arizona on a high ozone alert day. my lighter blew up in my pocket and set my butt on fire. yea,it's funny now,but at the moment it wasn't. but anyway,it was somewhere between 120/125 that day. [scarlet_woman]
I have been to Death Valley in Nevada USA, this is the hottest place in the USA. I was there several times in the Spring but once in the middle of Summer, I was a child and had my first Coke there it was so cold it was almost ice, nothing has ever tasted as good as that drink [savypat]
In May I had been to PURI and the place was incredibly hot. Not only hot being a Beach, the humidity factor was very very high and I was sweating like hell. Even the AC was of very little relief. I must have drank at least 10 litres of water and still I was feeling thirsty every alternate minute. I swore that day, that I will never ever visit a Beach in the Peak of Summer, at least not PURI!!!!!! [goodfundadvisor]
i have been to a desert place in northern india. it was 45 degrees hot. it was so hot that i could not breath after exposing myself for more than one hour in the heat.i drank three glasses of water to overcome the thirst .you wont like it ! [golvine]
I live in South Australia - which is officially the driest state in the driest country on Earth. In summer the temperatures regularly reach 42-45 degrees Celcius (110-115 F) and our city isn't far away from the Nullabor desert. I love it here. I couldn't stand to be anywhere that was so cold you needed to wear more than one layer of clothing. [Raven1]
I lived in Boise Idaho for awhile, where the summer temperatures can get to 120 at times. I have also traveled to Arizona, and that was pretty hot too. You had to find the nearest building, just for the air conditioning :) [geminikid]
I grew up in a very very hot country. There were days int eh summer when it would be over 50 degrees. The government rule says that it should be a holiday for the workers if the temperature goes about 50 degrees...but it has never happened even when the temperature has gone beyond. We were relatively safer in air conditioned homes and schools...but I would feel sorry for the people working outside. When I started working and would wait at a bus stop, I couldn't stand the heat...imagine people working outside! [SViswan]
