Which Fayetteville? NC? AR?... There are probably more

I have seen our car register 99 F passing Fayetteville NC.
When I stepped out, I found the humidity moderate enough (under 40% RH?) that 99 F felt lovely.

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.
El Paso, Tx

This is the criterion of AHS heat zones -- the mean number of days per year that exceed 30 C. London is in heat zone 2, meaning it gets between 1 and 7 days over 30 C in an average year.

Ah. Thanks. So I live in heat zone 5 (30-45 day over 30°C) and hardiness zone 5 (average yearly minimum of -10 to -20°F)

Probably not a very common combination in Europe, if it exists at all.

Toronto would be in heat zone 3, with an average of 12-14 days exceeding 30 C/86 F.
Though if there were heat index zones we would rank a lot higher.
Our max dewpoints seem among the highest outside the subtropics.

Toronto closer to the Lake is around 5b or 6a; annual lows from -15 F to -6 F?

Heat zone 2 and hardiness zone 9b here. I believe 100 F has only been exceeded once in my city, in 1973.

Most places in NZ would be in heat zone 1. The highest heat zone NZ has is zone 3 (in a handful of inland southeastern towns). Hardiness zones get up to 11a in a couple of small islands and coastal settlements in the far north. And even that region is entirely heat zone 1 with plenty of 9b - 10a hardiness zones.

Heat Zone 5/6 and Hardiness Zone 7/8 here.

The heat index passed 100 today, the actual high was 97 (soooo close to 100). Last time we passed 100 was in June 2008.

Pakistan has been in the grip of a blistering sustained heat wave since the 2nd half of May. Larkana recored 52C, and other parts up to 53C or 127F.
These are some of the highest temperatures ever recorded on Earth , that have been recorded in the last month or so.
Only Libya, Death Valley and Israel have recored higher temps in history.
The current heat wave is still going on, and into parts of India.

I think I'd like to live in heat zones 8-10, hardiness zone 9+.
