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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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.

    -43c / +46c

    Probably going to be more hotter seasons and never going to experience the -40s again with the way climate change is going…

        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.
