ArmyGreens Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 128 in Taji, Iraq 2005. That along with 160% freakin humidty! Maybe not that extreme but it was like suckin on a hair dryer everywhere you walked. Throw on full battle rattle and that temp rose about 15 degrees!

RickinBaltimore Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This past summer in Baltimore was 106-107 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 122 in Vegas (according to the car thermometer when we parked IN THE SHADE in the Stratosphere parking deck) in July 2009. As many have said, that is nowhere near as uncomfortable as DC when it tops 100 in August. As I pointed out earlier in this thread, I'm sure that was not accurate. Las Vegas' all-time record high temp is either 117 or 118, depending on if you go by the airport or downtown. The concrete likely enhanced the temperature where you parked (even if shaded at the time), or the thermometer was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QVectorman Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 118 in Palm Springs last summer. And that's just hot, like someone else said, it's like climbing in an oven set on it's lowest setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslkahuna Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 With all of these high heat values from the desert that we are talking about, it should be pointed out that if your vehicle is parked in the Sun (which most are since the shady spots go fast) the temperature inside of it will be in the 140-160F range easily. The latter value, it should be pointed out, it the recommended meat temperature for a beef roast to be properly cooked. When in the Desert SW in the Summer, it is often necessary to use oven mitts to use the steering wheel (or only one finger), never wear shorts while driving and be aware that the seat belt buckle makes an excellent branding iron.
