I was actually looking back at an old thread I started last year (//www.city-data.com/forum/weath...r-maxes-4.html), and if the stats are reliable, there's apparently a place in China, in a depression below sea level of the Gobi desert, that has an average daily high of 39.6C (103.3 F) in the hottest month at latitude 42N. But the winters are frigid though.
Really impressive, then Red Bluff is already #2 if this is the case. Are you sure that 103.3 F is the average daily high - and not the max monthly high?
Well, I was just going by what I found searching online, weatherbase and worldclimate.com also give 103F for the July high. Just glancing at the weather forecast also seems to show 100s F weather. But I've been nowhere near the place in real life... lol.
Turpan definitely looks like a contender for a climate at the highest latitude that averages over 40C for a high in is warmest month.
Redding is a place that has always intrigued me and I hope to pass by through there one of these days at the height of summer to experience the extreme heat (It won't be this year unfortunately). It's only about a 12 hour drive from here so it's not that far away...
I always wondered about that;
A few times you have mentioned that the climate/weather of the PNW can at times be not warm and sunny enough for your likes. Yet, in less than 18 hours (by auto no less) you can be in some of the hottest, driest, and sunniest climates on earth.
Cordoba is slightly warmer than seville (ie july mean high 36.2c vs 35.3c) and slightly further north too.
