Major Cities Hitting 100 degrees? (record, temp, humidity, dew point)

[piyf]

This year alone we've hit it about 8 times with the rest of the week above 100. But luckily it's a dry heat so the Heat Index will be in the 90's. Gotta love a dry heat. It's actually comfortable in the shade when it's that hot. And at night it's almost cold.

what city is this?

As for Kuwait, its my dream climate. Although the Pilbara has climates that are virtually as hot in summer but are all remote outposts in the middle of butt-freaking-nowhere. Gascoyne Junction averaged about 46C for the first 25 days of Jan 2009 before a stupid hurricane came and ruined the party near the end of the month.

Is Broome the hottest "somewhere" in Australia, in you opinion?

Wow, 25 days in a row at 46 C... sounds like Bagdad.

Wydham is...average annual high of 35.7C. Coldest monthly averages are 17/31C and hottest is 27/40C.

Average annual no of days above 30C is 332, above 35C is 216 and above 40C is 47. It is actually recognised as the world's hottest permanently inhabited *town*.

However, in Marble Bar, average no of days over 30C is 277, over 35C is 201, but over 40C is 104!!!! Marble Bar's annaul average high is 35.3C. Their winters are what kills their title for the world's hottest town, as July averages are only around 13/25C compared to Wyndham's 17/31C.



The highest overnight lows in Australia belong to a place called 'Cockatoo Island', where the annual average low is 25.5C, with the lowest monthly average of 22C and highest 28C. Record low is 17C. This island is at 16º lat by the way. There are reefs and atolls (Ashmore Islands, Rowley Shoals) off the Kimberleys and Pilbara at around 13-14S latitude, but without long term weatehr records. These places rarely drop below 28C in summer and 24C in winter. It would be fascinating to see long term averages for these locations. Infact, Rowely shoals are still recording overnight lows of 26-27C despite the fact that it's late June! It is entirely possible that these locations record the highest average overnight lows in the world.

I didn't know you considered Wyndham a "somewhere" with a population of only 669 people.

Marble Bar is smaller though; 194 people.

Do you plan to visit Cockatoo Island?

By Australian standards, if it has people, it is "somewhere"

Cockatoo Island is spectacularly warm and humid, but it doesn't compare to Rowely shoals:
You didn't mention Rowley Shoals as stated in my post

Here's the typical mid winter overnight temps for this location....warmer than Cockatoo Island and perhaps the highest average overnight lows in the world. This location almost never drops below 28C in summer, but sadly no long term data is kept.

It's mid winter, and look at the overnight temps:

Lol it's the opposite right now in NYC, it's 87°F but the heat index is 101°F.

I was just comparing it with your comments for Gascoyne Junction.

Rowley Shoals in winter?
The temps look almost the same, day and night. (26-27 C?)

Yes really lol. On Accuweather the Heat Index in NYC was 101F, now if they use Central Park or not idk. On WeatherBug some parts of NNJ had a 103F Heat Index which leads me to believe it's true.
