Indoor temperatures don’t count. I’m talking about the weather.
Coldest for me was probably 14°C (I live in a tropical country) and the hottest was 48°C when i was traveling in June this year.
Coldest was -44°C when I was working as a northern lights guide in Norway. We’d always take our tour groups to areas with a high likelihood of polar activity, and once the whole coast was widely overcast so that we had to drive almost to the Finnish border. Camped out along the road towards Kilpisjärvi coming from Skibotn (company was based in Tromso).
Hottest was +45°C in Lagos, Nigeria. Used to work there as well for a good while.
I’ve been outside working in -34° C, and likewise 54.4° C. That’s -30° F and 130° F for those of us who use imperial.
The negative temp was Alaska, and the high positive was the Arabian Gulf. Good times.
I’m close to you. 118F in Colorado, -30 in Chicago during the polar vortex. I had icicles in my beard within minutes, it was gnarly.
Wow. They are both impressive numbers.
My hottest is Australia at about 47c and Germany at about -18c.
Went from one, to a couple of days later the other. Quite the shock. Quite the fun of it all.
47.5° (117.5 F) in Phoenix AZ USA summer.
-11.6° (11 F) in Flagstaff AZ USA winter.
Hottest would be 41°C, in 2003 and last year (France)
Coldest, -35°C, Québec Carnaval in 2016. I stayed about two hours in that temperature, I started to have cold burn in my fingers and my toes.
Would take -35 over 41 all day.
Coldest was about -45°C, hottest was about +45°C. We’ve got quite the range where I live, though usually it’s closer to -30 and +30, those were just extreme cases lol.
Coldest was about -45°C
jesus where was this, the arctic?
Canada
A year or two ago we went from -42°C to +42°C in about 3 months (end of Feb to early June). The temperature swings in parts of Canada are wild
I know you said indoor temperatures don’t count, but my low is kinda fun: -110c for three minutes (cryotherapy). Outdoor was 48c (local thermometer said higher) in northern Western Australia.
I know nothing about cryotherapy: were you awake for that?? What was the experience like?
Yeah, awake. Stood in a giant freezer wearing only shorts, socks and a mask. It’s a way to enhance healing by encouraging white blood cell production via shocking the system through lowering skin temp rapidly. Very good for muscular issues, arthritis, etc. I just did it once for fun, but I could really go for a bulk set sessions… getting old.
hey you’re the guy who didn’t shit for 3 days! how was the sex party?
Hottest was 115 F (46C) in Phoenix, Arizona. Coolest was -55 F (-48C) in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I think the wind chill was around -85 F.
-45°C in central Alberta in the 90’s, +45° C in California in the 80’s.
Mine’s about the same range, but both in Alberta
I don’t think there’s anywhere in Alberta that gets above 40
Not regularly, but if I remember correctly it was a record-breaking 43 about 10 or so years ago
I’ve seen Alberta get above 40C in rare cases.
-43c / +46c
Probably going to be more hotter seasons and never going to experience the -40s again with the way climate change is going…
Hottest 43°C. Coldest somewhere around -20°C.
-40C and +40C. Both in the same place and in the same year. Fuckin save me.
Add “in the same place” and you would have said Siberia without saying it
Oh it was in the same place. I should have made that clear, but incorrectly assumed it was implied.
-47C skiing in Banff, +42C hiking on Vancouver Island.
That has to be a windchill.
Even if I put on a neoprene mask and scarf, I could only do one run and then had to go into the lodge for half an hour to warm up. It was brutal, but I think I still have a pic of the sign at the lift telling the temperature. They shut down the gondola because they were afraid to put people up on it.
Hottest was just under 54° (128.6°F) in Kuwait. I went for a run just to say I was the only person to go for a run in the hottest day in human history so far.
I think it got down to -29 (-20) in Albany NY one year but I’m looking for colder experiences soon.
Awesome. I’m a 40/-40 runner.
I would love to hear about your prep to run in -40. I mostly tap out at -10C
Hottest: 37°C
Coldest: -25°C (-40°C with windchill)
Both in Toronto
