This would have probably been Heat Index when you add in the radiant heat and energy-sapping humidity.
This place has remarkablly similar temps every month of the year, being Equatorial, about 31.5C or just under 90F. Even worse than this is the >25C minimums every night of the year.
hotest temperature was > 135F entering my car after maximum heating (4:00pm - 5:30pm) on a sunny las vegas day after sitting in the sun all day. i keep a thermometer in my car.

You are probably right about Kiriboti, it must have been a heat index, someone from the ship gave me that number, however, just standing still the sweat was pouring down.
1934 - The coldest temperature ever recorded in Michigan occurred at Vanderbilt, with a low of -51° below zero. Amasa, in the western Upper Peninsula, tied the record on Feb 4, 1996. This article is from the Grand Rapids Examiner
. However, back in 1954 or 55, our official town thermometer registered -56 ,and in the Winter of 1976/77 here are the temps over a period of time written on the wall of a garage in Amasa, MI.
I grew up in this town and I'm telling you it gets COLD there ! These are actual temps, not wind chill.
Coldest: about -28C. In my city. I don't remeber when it was, but probably in winter 2005-2006.
Hottest: almost 40C in summer 2010. In my city too.
I don't want to experience higher temperatures, but I want to experience colder winter (probably in Siberia).
I really don't know the answer to this question but I will deal with what I remember.
Where I was born in the North Carolina mountains used to get to 10 degrees most winters but every once in a while it would get down around 0 or slightly below.
We vacationed in Edisto Beach one year and I started feeling faint so we went back to the timeshare and turned on the TV to see what the forecast was. It was 105 in the shade and the humidity was so high that it felt like 115.
Went to the pool and it looked more like bath water with suds.
We got in our air conditioned car and headed to Savannah to an air conditioned place to eat. Bought a $20 pecan pie and came back to the timeshare and shared it with our daughter and her guests who had stayed at the beach.
