86F / 30C Version of "What Climate" (hottest, record, temperatures)

[tvdxer]

Sorry if you're getting sick of these, but they're so fun!

Anyway, let's turn the average annual temperature up a notch further to an almost other-worldly level: 30* C or 86* F. For many that would be hell (or at least purgatory; my guess is that hell is more like 40* C or 50* C). But then again, not quite as extreme as some of the extreme cold climates on this earth. And there ARE places that average 30C! Here goes:

AVERAGE 93 78 86 82.15 73%

Synopsis: Like a tropical rainforest on steroids. 82" of rain annually. Fog is possible (and common) at 90F in the "winter". Almost a foot of rain falls monthly in December, January, and February. Average heat index in January, 111F; average heat index in July, 126F (and in August/September, 133F).

I guess the next version would be if you would rather live on Venus or Mercury. Venus is hot year round with little variation but very cloudy. Mercury is scorching hot during the day with intense sun (lol) and cold at night. There is no water in either place so no humidity!

I pick climate A, I would have chosen climate B but its too dry and that 122° average high in climate B would probably feel cooler because of the lack of humidity, but the 101° in climate A would probably feel like 120°+ because of the high humidity.

I'm a heat lover so I check to see what's going to feel the hottest lol.

climate C.

[ColdCanadian]

Tropical Rainforest on steroids please.

All the other climates have winters cooler than I'd find "perfect", while summers that look ridiculously hot.
And after getting acclimated to heat indexes of like 130-140 F in summer, I'd probably freeze when it dropped below 85 F.

If there's any noticeable humidity in the air,
I do not desire to see temps above 95 F after dark (but 95 F is okay )
temps above 90 F after midnight (hey, this dude has sleep sometime )
or morning lows above 85 F (seen that once, it was quite strange)

Actually, climate "C" in winter looks similar to Panama, a climate that I envy.

*All of these climates are a little higher than even what I would find perfect...
though they are ALL better than Canada for me.

Climate A.

Climate B wouldn't exist anywhere on this Earth.

[ColdCanadian]

Found a climate that is like "A" or "C:" Madras, India

I was stunned when I saw these averages and humidity levels;
its summers make Darwin and Bangkok look like San Diego.

BBC - Weather Centre - World Weather - Average Conditions - Madras

April to August,
average highs range from 35-38 C (95-100 F)
average lows range from 26-28 C (78-82 F)
record highs range from 40-45 C (104-113 F)
record lows range from 20-21 C (68-70 F)
afternoon humidity ranges from 61-72%
afternoon dewpoints from 28-31 C (82-87 F)

SAB, you might want to book a trip there in May.
That's when it's 38/28 C, record high of 45 C, dewpoint of 31 C, one day of rain per month and 9 hours of daily sunshine.

*I wonder what kind of "heat index" an air temp of 38 C (100 F) with a 31 C (87 F) dewpoint gives you...

[Infamous92]

Temperature: 100°F (38°C)
Dew Point: 87°

Heat Index = 139°F (59.4°C)


That would feel so good.
