What was the hottest/coldest temperature you have experienced?

[2952-0-0]

Me:

38C, walking up a mountain in China for two hours in the morning.
-30ish, when I lived in Fredericton when I was just born.

[CPT MikeyMike]

Hottest place for me was Iraq - around 125-130 with IBAS (armor vest), ACH (helmet) and other crap!  With all that crap, they say it feels about 10 degrees warmer.

Not sure about the coldest place for me. 

[True Democrat]

About 120 degrees in Israel when I was seven.  Maybe -20 from a few winters ago.

[Colin]

108F in Las Vegas about a few years ago
-50F when I lived in Chicago

[CPT MikeyMike]

About 120 degrees in Israel when I was seven. 

Was it humid there? It isn't in Iraq.

[Rin-chan]

Hottest: 108 (our car, which was in the shade, told us it was that hot) and upwards at Hoover Dam in 2003

Coldest: between 0-3 degrees at Mountain Creek in 2004

Hottest: 110 F, in Virginia somewhere.
Coldest: -24F, in Saranac Lake, NY.

Well, it was on Masada, so it was extremely dry actually.

[ilikeverin]

Hottest: 38.89C / 102F (estimate) - tie - Minneapolis, Minnesota, July 1995 (same time as the Chicago heat wave), and Las Vegas, Nevada, 2001(?)
Coldest: -31.67C / -25F (estimate) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, winter 1996(?)

They had to cancel a week of school because the wind chills were too low

[WalterMitty]

hottest: low 100s a couple of times in va and nc.

coldest:  a couple of degrees below zero

[Hatman 🍁]

Probably -50 (C) to +40 (C) both here in Ottawa with windchill/humidity respectively. In Farenheit, that's about -55 / 105. Gotta love the temperate climate. 

[Smash255]

Here on Long Island I would say the coldest I have seen is about 4 or 5 degrees, and if you would include a wibnd chill about -20 or -25 or so.  The hottest here, over 100 a few times, 102 or 103.  heat index has gotten upwards of 115-120 or so.

Hottest temp I have expereinced was about 112 or so when i was in las Vegas during the summer in the late 90's.  However upper 90's to the low 100's here generally feels hotter than the low 110's out in vegas because of the humidity levels here as opposed to out there.

[Nym90]

Warmest--about 100 Fahrenheit (roughly 38 Celsius). Coldest--about 40 below zero (Fahrenheit and Celsius ).

[MaC]

Warmest--about 100 Fahrenheit (roughly 38 Celsius). Coldest--about 40 below zero (Fahrenheit and Celsius ).

wow-40 below?

I'm sure the coldest I faced was probably only about 9 below Farenheit

[Reignman]

105ishF/0ishF

[Platypus]

46 C, -5 C

[Tender Branson]

+40° C or about 105° Fahrenheit = hottest (Southern France 2 years ago)

-25° C or about -13° Fahrenheit = coldest (here in Austria, actually about every year)

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Warmest: 107F (a really hot week in August 2000)
Coldest: -4F (We had some cold winters in the 80's in Memphis)

[Storebought]

Hottest: 105 F in late August, 2002ish. Combined with south Louisiana's humidity indices, that made the first week of school an absolute hell. I remember a guy walking into a bathroom and literally wringing the sweat from his shirt.

Coldest: 13 F sometime in the late 80s, still in south Louisiana. All I knew from that experience is that cold can burn just as good as the heat.

[Alcon]

Hottest: 100F or so, a while back, here.

Coldest: 15F or so back during a winter storm, here.

[TeePee4Prez]

Hottest: 104F
Coldest: maybe -3F at the most

Smash is right.  Even the Upper 80s at the Jersey Shore can be extremely oppressive with humidity sometimes as high as 70% during the day.  You sometimes get days with temps that high with overcast and it can feel disgusting.  I personally feel the Dew Point is a better indicator of how sweaty I'm going to feel on a particular day rather than heat index.

[Gabu]

Hottest: Around 30 C in the midst of a hot summer up here (by our standards).
Coldest: Around -15 C while visiting relatives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan over Christmas.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

God bless Ireland's temperate climate; probably experienced nothing lower than -5, nothing higher than 40 (and that would be abroad).

[minionofmidas]

Hottest would probably be summer (that's april for the unitiated) in West Rajasthan. I didn't have a thermometer with me at all times, but I don't think it rose beyond ~43-5 C while I was there. (May can hit 50.)

New Years Night 96-7 was probably the coldest I've been out in - well either that or the coldest day of a ski vacation in Austria in early 1993. Either'd be pushing on -20.
Just today I was remembered of that winter of 96-7 in the newspaper... some fishingman complaining about the declining stocks of cod in the North Sea and linking this to the fact that "the last real winter we've had around here was 10 years ago".

[ilikeverin]

Probably -50 (C) to +40 (C) both here in Ottawa with windchill/humidity respectively. In Farenheit, that's about -55 / 105. Gotta love the temperate climate. 

Wait, we're factoring in windchill/heat index?  Then about -40C to 40C, easily.
