What's the hottest summer weather you can recall?

[Big C]

A while back, I had a thread on the worst winter weather you can recall.

Now that it's summer, I'd like to do the opposite: what's some of the hottest weather you remember in the summer?

The hottest summer weather in my area was about 4 years ago. Usually in the summers here it gets between 90 to 95 degrees. That summer it was between 97 to 100 daily. It was humid somedays.

The Summer of 1988 was stifling! Just brutal. I remember one day lying out to get some sun and I had flipped over onto my stomach from lying on my back. I was reading a People magazine and looked down at my clevage after sweat starting dripping onto the magazine from my forehead and face. I thought I had more sweat on my chest, so I wiped it away and instead of being sweat, it turned out there were all blisters that I broke!!!! I was basically sizzling out there like a piece of side bacon!! :eek:

The summer of 1988. Temps in the high 90s/low 100s became the norm here in NE Ohio. We had a long drought. I felt so sorry for my poor aunt, who was pregnant. She was more miserable than the rest of us, obviously!!

The summer of 88 was brutal here as well. The summer of 1987 was probably the worse. We had one fan in the whole house at the time, I was 13, and I had heat bumps on my neck. Everyday of 90 degrees+. At nightime was worse. We took cold showers at least twice at night!

I don't remember the summer of 1987 being that hot but I wouldn't doubt it. In the North Coast, summers are always either blazing hot or very cool (like this one is thus far). Very little middle ground.

Monika and Kool - yup 88 was THE one up this way (as it would be in Ohio). Just a killer. I felt sorry for ANYONE pregnant.

My brother even gladly quit his job and moved to our apt. for the summer (he didn't have air conditioning and his job was on a loading dock).

The summer of 2003 was pretty bad up here too - WAY too much humidity! yeeech Luckily I wasn't working and had my pool.

The hottest summer I remember was in August 2007 when we had triple digit temperatures when we were in the mid to high 100's in the south. I was at the Toby Keith concert that month unfortunately it was an outdoor concert.

As several others have posted, the summer of 1988 was very, very hot. The summer of '95 was also very hot.

'88 was horrible. My family didn't have air conditioning and I remember my dad went and bought a small second hand one from a thrift store. But our house was huge and it would only cool one room. So my mom and dad, grandma, 3 brothers, and my sister and I moved into one room. My dad blocked off the rest of the house to save on the electric bill and we spent that summer sleeping on the floor in the family room. We had a lot of family-togetherness that summer. LOL! :)

I remember THAT SUMMER. It was HOT....we also had a long drought in Northwest Ohio.

as far as what i can remember, probably july 2006 when i went to ozzfest. i don't know what the temperature was but i was just dying, and i'm used to 90-100 degree weather. spent almost all my money on drinks.

I don't remember that one much, but I was 5 and had a high fever when it happened.

But the one I remember was in 2005, the weather was in the mid-90's and I was at Tri-C Parma all day thank God.

I don't remember 2003 or 2005's summers being THAT hot, but then again I was working in air conditioning all day. My sister's wedding day in July 2003 didn't get out of the 50s - and that was the HIGH!! :eek:

The summer of 1988 here in ND was a killer, too. I was 2 & 3 years old that summer (turned 3 in August of 1988), so I just vaguely remember that summer. My mom says it was a real killer of a summer, too... no rain the whole summer. It was always in the 90s, even at night (it never went beyond 85 as a low temp). Drought conditions and grass fires out the ass here.

The summer of 2006 here was just as bad, too. I posted about it many times on here that ND had a few days that summer where it was HOTTER than it was in freaking ARIZONA. I remember it well... the summer started early, in May, with the highs hitting 90 at least every other day. Then it got more brutal in June (90s every day). Then hell in July, where the highs went beyond 100 quite a few times. THe real scorcher was on July 30, 2006, when it broke 112 degrees here. We had the AC running every day until probably September/October, it was that bad of a summer.
