This mini heatwave we are currently experience is some of the hottest weather i've ever experienced in Scotland in my 42 years on this planet.
Got me thinking though. What is the hottest weather i've ever experienced.
I think it would undoubtedly be Toronto, Canada in the Summer of 2001.
Went for a lads holiday there for 2 weeks. Every single day for days it was pushing 40°C and the humidity was genuinely sapping.
It was ok if you were in an air conditioned bar right enough, so spent a lot of time doing that. Just to hide from the Sun, you understand.😉

My backies!! High 30s low 40s fir the best part of 6 weeks. Chuck in torrential downpours on top of that and you can imagine the humidity. Hardly cools down at night either. 25-30c at midnight. Great if you're lounging around a pool in Speedos with a Pina colada but a bit keech with a shirt and breeks on heading to work (with a mask for good measure).

Walgett. Inland New South Wales.
45 Celsius.
Local shopowner Yung Noble's party trick was to fry an egg on pavement.
- Cooked up a treat.
Along would come a red headed Aborigine by the name George Hansen.
- Scrape up the eggs and get a feed to wash down his Brasso
Not a thing you forget .

Been in Seville at over 40, that’s probably hottest I’ve experienced

I was in Palermo about 8 years ago. It hit 46 degrees. I remember thinking that the car had air conditioning, hence going for a drive might be a good idea. On the way back to Palermo both the central reservation and verge of the autostrada were in flames. At one point, I just drove into an inferno not knowing if and when I would come out.
