DoonTheSlope Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 (edited) What's the hottest temperature you have been in. Just curious as I visited Morocco in 2016 and one afternoon it reached +47. Some locals were even saying that was almost record temperatures. If you stood still in open exposed areas you could feel your feet starting to burn through you're footwear. In the evening it was a cool +36. My baws were hanging like two onions in a carrier bag 🤤🤤🤤🤤😲 Edited January 18, 2018 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Dubai last July. Not sure how hot it was but it was mid afternoon and I was wearing a suit for a meeting out by the airport and the heat was excruciating. Must have been easily 115+ whatever that is in old money. I was in Vegas this year and it hit 109 which was pretty "bad" too but the air conditioned casinos and ice cold beer made it just about bearable.

SMcoolJ Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 49c in Dubai. Thing is, we all knew it was much hotter. The official temperature never gets above 49c in Dubai because at 50c the construction workers have to stop working for health and safety reasons. Remember looking out of the office window and seeing a guy going into his car wearing gloves. Recall thinking it was bizarre behaviour given the heat only to be told that the steering wheel in his car would have been so hot it would have burnt his hands otherwise.

Ormond Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Every Summer here when working ontop of roofs covered in piping hot shingles. I suffer from a condition where I don’t produce as much sweat as others meaning I deal with the heat worse than most. But when I moved here and having to work outside in it has the sweat running down my beak so bad I’ve had to adapt into wearing a John McEnroe sweatband thingy. Can’t wear hats or a bandana as my head is too hot. Or near 50C in a Turkish heatwave when I was in my late teens. Locals were dropping like flies. I couldn’t leave the pool. Brutal.

DoonTheSlope Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 It's a queer thing life, when I was in Morocco I didn't sweat and I didn't burn but a few weeks later when we played Malta the highest I noticed the temperature was around a steady 30 in the day yet the sweat was ringing off me for a week. I was burnt that badly my skin was beetroot due to the sun even though I used the same bottle of factor 50 I'd used in Morocco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 About 52 in Turkey about 15 years ago. Sand was too hot to walk on, sat by the pool and got pished, watching topless birds get their paps burnt through my sunglasses. Great holiday......
