OK, so no-one is in the least bit surprised with that
Today the temperature gauge briefly hit 40c, though it stabilised at 39c. From experience it usually inflates by 2c, so topped out at 37c
The most I've ever seen was 43c, just south of Madrid in 2010.
Except that car had functioning AC, my current vehicle doesn't (possible condenser problem), so 37c exterior = ?c interior and tomorrow it's off to Edwardstone's BBQ 100 or so miles away in Gloucestershire... think we may leave early...
What's the hottest you've experienced? |  |

My car was sitting on the driveway in direct sunlight during the afternoon on a hot summer's day and I decided to check to see what temperature was showing on the dashboard. It was showing as 49ºC. That was somewhere around 2018–20. |  |

A couple of years ago on a road trip from San Francisco to Vegas we drove through Death Valley. Temperature reached 117 degrees Fahrenheit (47 degrees Celcius). |  |

I was in Arizona in the early 90s (forget it was 93 or 94) and the temperature 4 days in a row was 42°, 41°, 44° and then 43°. Which i thought was bad enough but the locals said it had been the same every day for the previous 3 weeks. Thankfully AirCon everywhere.
How natives and early pioneers survived without aircon in those areas is beyond me. |  | | |
