that's obviously an exaggeration or the temp in the sun.

yea, probably. the highest temperature ever recorded is 136 so 144 might be a bit exaggerated, maybe the temperature out in the sun

I was in Qatar the entire summer of 2004 and there were several days working outside where our thermometer was pegged out and it was in the shade. It only went as high as 120 degrees. But, it was a cheap Wal-Mart kind so I don't know how accurate it was. On our airplanes, it was common for the Free Air Temp reading indication to be pegged out at 50 degrees Centigrade (about 122). So, I don't know how hot it really was. I do know that inside the airplanes during the day we were only allowed to be working on the inside for 20 minutes before they forced us to take breaks. It got so hot in there that you had a very hard time breathing. Not to mention, the humidity in Qatar was so thick you could cut it with a knife. That was the most miserable summer I have ever suffered through. I know we were probably drinking at least two gallons of water every day and still feeling dehydrated.

I burned my thumb on a cookie sheet that was probably around 400 degrees. That's probably the hottest I've experienced.

Non-facetiously, 122F in Needles CA. Wow. Rarely do you leave a building and immediately feel your skin burning.

It's 121 degrees here in Lake Havasu Arizona, the businesses here always set their temp signs -10 degrees. I just drove by the bank sign and it says 111 degrees I think I'll put my jacket on,

Probably about 34c (93f) in one of the few heatwaves we get here in England when I lived in Berkshire.

I know this doesn't compare to many of you from out west and all, but the hottest I've ever experienced is 104 degrees, which is the all-time record for this area...we tied that record two days in a row last year. From the looks and sounds of it, we may be heading for it again this summer. I may be crazy for saying so, but it wasn't as bad as I thought.
