damn. hmmmm. i think maybe las vegas i remember it being freakin' hot the only problem about this answer would be i was just a mutha freakin' kid and i dont really remember the tempeture. the highest temp i was in and remembered the damn temp was in ft. worth area near dallas i looked at one of those signs and it said it was around 109 degrees.

I was in 124°F the first year we moved to San Luis Obispo county, California. We made the Today Show weather news it was so hot LOL!!! I wondered if it always got that hot but everyone said no. But then I found out that 118°F was common! Yuck!

142 F. My brother Gerry locked me in the trunk of our parents' 1975 AMC Matador. I suffered a little brain damage and tender-lung.

I was out in the desert once and it was like 110 degrees. It was pretty freakin hot.

Alturas california, 117 in the shade - sweating just thinking about it

I was in the Coachella Valley in California a couple years ago. It got up to 115. July is not a good time to go the desert.

120° in Phoenix. Typical AZ summer.

125F in Redding, Ca in 2002. Although I am sure the volcanoes in Gran Canaria were hotter than that. Just being there felt like my skin was cooking and I was still a good cpl of miles from the actual lava! But alas, no thermometer.

Summer, 1975: In a restaurant's kitchen, Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Temperature: An extremely hot 110 degrees F. to 142 degrees F. - consistently - from about 12:30 in the afternoon until about 8:00 PM, 5 to 6 1/2 days each week for about 5 to 7 weeks. The exhaust and ventilation system was absolutely horrible and totally inadequate! We had 5-gallon plastic containers of ice water to cool us off. We had salt tablets. I don't remember any day when I didn't walk-out of there without losing at least 10 to 15 pounds. THE COLDEST temperature: Winter, 1975 in a deli's kitchen in West Chester, PA. There was no insulation in the building's walls. I could see the outside daylight in the cracked mortar/cement between the cinder blocks. How cold was it? I don't know exactly, but I remember working every day in an ice cold kitchen with all the equipment on - steam table, ovens, grill, fryer and broiler - while wearing a winter coat. I took off the coat about 1/2 hour before I finished that shift (8:00 AM to about 2:30 to 3 PM each day). How do I know it was the coldest? On several winter mornings, I opened the deli/restaurant, came into the kitchen and saw 1-gallons glass bottles of vinegar, frozen and with ice crystals on the inside of the kitchen - nowhere near the walls. How do I know they were frozen? I had to use the vinegar to make salad dressings and cole slaw. Everyone knows what ice sounds like as the liquid is poured and the ice comes in contact with glass. When vinegar freezes, it IS VERY, VERY cold! Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: My wonderful family!

116 in tucson.

It was 120 degrees F in Las Vegas, Nevada last year in mid September. One of the tires on my vehicle actually melted and I had to buy a new tire.

In Altus, Oklahoma, in the summer of 1980, we had 33 straight days of 100+ degree temperatures, and at least 14 of those days were 110+ degrees. If memory serves, the hottest day was 114! I had a job that summer as a janitor at a car dealership. Part of my job was to wash the huge plate glass windows. I would put the water on and it would dry before I could squeegee it off. It was horrible.
