There is the aforementioned Tirana: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tirana#Climate

Avignon in France comes very close: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avignon#Climate

Florence is even closer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence#Climate

Skopje also comes close: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skopje#Climate

And so does Edirne: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edirne#Climate

Atyrau gets above 90F if you consider it Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atyrau#Climate

I didn't think there were any. Ok so Tirana does, and a few come close.


But come on now, who considers Kazakhstan as a part of Europe?

Which one is it? 44.8C

or 45.8C?

Well, its westernmost part is on the right side of the Ural river, making it geographically Europe.

I don't consider Kazakhstan Europe at all, but I guess geographically Atyrau .....

The city is considered to be located both in Asia and Europe, as it is divided by the Ural River.

I thought 45.8C sounded a bit too high. However, 44.8C is still a pretty exceptional temperature record


Here are the temperature extremes in and round Chicago within a 90km radius. Highest is 46.7C

The record high temperature in my dad's birthplace Coimbatore India is Just 41 C. Anything above 36.5 C is too hot for a Coimbatore native and makes my dad dizzy . Days are usually around 31-34 C and nights are usually around 20-23 C during peak summer over there. He frequently travels to St Louis for business reasons and always says that their summers are more oppressive than those in Coimbatore.

Zaragoza and Lleida, which are two cities located inland in the northeast quadrant of Spain at 41º N, also complies with this requeriment.

mar, does warmth in Italy feel more comforting than that in the southern US. My cousins from North Texas visited Italy 2 years ago, and said that 91 F with sunshine felt quite comfortable spending time outside without A/C. The same temperatures in North Texas make them complain about the heat constantly and there is NO WAY they will spend time outside A/C.

Well, I guess the southern US states get stronger sunshine being at low latitudes.
Italy is quite a diverse country talking about climates.
Based on personal experience, I can say that Florence is very hot and dry in the summer, while the Po Plain (Bologna for example) and the coastal cities are humid.
I've been so many times in Florence and Rome, and coming from a seaside resort, their summers seem very very hot for me and not comfortable, even wearing a light t-shirt. I always need seeking shaded areas and (rare) tree lined boulevards. I honestly can't imagine working there without A/C.
Summer days in the inner Po Plain can be very sultry and uncomfortable (even for me), maybe more similar to Dallas or Houston, while here on the coast the extreme humidity is balanced by breezes, a lot of vegetation, and somewhat milder temperatures.

Florence isn't quite as humid (via weatherspark dew points on an average summer day range from 57 to 67 while in Dallas they range from 64 to 72). Might be enough to make a difference.
