Was 113 °F in Australia - somewhere not far S of Darwin - late October 1993.

Correction - this was during the 1990 trip I as I now recall. I can't forget
the temperature though

I lived in Dallas Texas from 1997-2000 and experienced MANY days above 100
with high humidities. HI up to 118. But 1998 was a doozy! We had 29 100+
days in a row, the 30 went up to 99F, and then it went back up into the
100's for a total of 42 days. This was not dry heat either although it
never rained either! All told there were 56 days above 100 that summer.
Still nothing compared to 1980 when they had 69. Needless to say I am
happy to be back in Vermont where we are expecting frost tomorrow night .
Fortunately I haven't planted the garden yet. Only some of the hardier stuff
that I can cover up.

Total No. Days Min Temps 80 Degrees or Higher
City Year Total Number of Days
Dallas Fort Worth 1998 39

I doubt either of these will be broken now that I live at UNV.

I'm sure many of you out there have seen hotter ;-)

Labor Day Weekend 1988 in Los Angeles. 110 degrees on Sunday while we were
checking out the Spruce Goose and the Queen Mary in Long Beach. A week
later, we experienced 24 degrees up in Truckee.

I guess you know which end, or side, of that state I like most.
