This is inspired by the Weather & Climate thread. What are the hottest/coldest temperatures you have ever experienced? The hottest temperature I have ever experienced is 47c (116 F). The Illawarra experienced a severe heatwave several years ago and I remember the temperature climbed to 47c at my location. It was horrible, because there was no relief from it.  The coldest temperature I have experienced is -8c (17 F), which was when I went to the Snowy Mountains back in 2009.

It was horrible, because there was no relief from it. I'm the same with you on that one, although it was 46.5c where I was. It was a horrible experience, because the aircon was broken at the time so there was no relief until a strong southerly came around 6pm. The coldest temperature I have experienced is -1.5c when I stayed in Canberra for a night in 2006.

Considering the fact that I live in a tropical country, the hottest temperature I experienced is about 40℃ and the coldest temperature is about 21℃(plain)/16℃(plateau)

Good thread idea SharksFan99 .  Oh, that’s precise of you.   As for myself; Hottest - when I was travelling around the Blue Mountains, NSW, back in January 2009. On that particular day it reached just over a staggering 48c. Also, one day while I was in Adelaide back in 2010 it wasn’t far off a 47c stinker either. These are easily the worst days I’ve experienced. Coolest - Whenever I travel up Mt. Wellington during winter it’s quite cold, usually hovering around -5c. However, I’ve been in Canberra during the depths of winter before and it gets really cold there with lots of -4,5,6,7’s etc.

I've witnessed both extremes and can verify that extreme hot is better. Hottest – It was either in Kuwait or Qatar. It got up to 50C. Coldest – not too long ago when the windchill dropped to -41C here north of Toronto, but without windchill the coldest was a bit below -30C.

I couldn't even imagine what -41C and 50C would be like.

Back in 2009 there was a record breaking heat wave here in the pacific northwest and Seattle topped out at 103F (39.5C). At the time I lived slightly more inland and further away from Seattle and out there it managed to hit 108F (42C). This lasted for 3 whole days.It was one of the worse things I've ever felt.
And the coldest temperature I ever felt was in December of 2016. It was about 18F (-8C) outside.

I remember I went up to the summit back in January 2017 and it would have only been 9-10C at the time, even though it was 20C in Hobart!
