In my 68 years, I have lived through lows, that were "unofficially" lower, and near record heat, only a few years ago.

We've had, in my area (so far), and by Kansas standards, a "mild" Winter (2017-2018), both in temps, and precipitation,

of any kind.

It rarely gets into the 20s Fahrenheit here in N. Florida. I remember it being 17˚ once. As for highs 102 is the highest I remember. Normal coastal summer highs are in the upper 80s in the hottest months. We rarely freeze at all in the winter anymore. There was one morning of 27˚ this year that killed a bunch of my plants.

Here in Kentucky, we can have all four seasons in a matter of a few hours.

 

The lowest I recall was -15F and the highest I recall was 105F.

 

Apparently it's been as low as -37 and as high as 114.

 

Where I live in Central Kentucky, it's a bit more moderate and we rarely get below 0 and rarely above 95. It was almost 80 for a couple of days last week and below 30 a few days before that. This week it's going to be mostly in the 50's and low 60's. We don't usually get much snow, usually an inch or two, but occasionally we'll get a foot or more and when that happens, the whole world shuts down.

I don't know specific temperatures. I just know that in Maryland, I've both froze my @ss off and sweated my @ss off. From below zero to over 100 Fahrenheit. And like they say, it's not so much the heat but the humidity!

Summers around here can feel like a wet blanket drooping over everything.

 

Plus, in the spring or fall, it might be 70 one day and 30 the next.

Highest we’ve experienced here in almost 40 years is 46C which is about 115 F. That was an awful day where bushfires claimed 179 lives in an adjoining part of our region. We live in the SE of Australia not far from the coast.

 

In the centre of the continent we exceed 50 C at times or 122 F and upwards.

 

We get lots of days in the 30’s & 40’s here, today is 34C and I get sick to death of being stuck inside. It’s just too hot for an old bloke to stay out working.

 

The lowest winter temperature we’ve had on record is -6 C (21.2 F) which was overnight though our lowest in winter is about 8C or (46.4F.) Typically winter days are 14 to 17C, (57 F to 62.6 F).

 

I love winter here!

 

Snow falls in the ranges behind us but I’ve never heard of it this far down near the coast.

 

Where we are is in drought ATM and I’ve lost 140’ off the end of my dam. This often happens after an El Nino weather pattern but usually corrects in the middle of the year with a big flood!

 

Overall we have a pretty comfortable climate here, no volcanoes, no earthquakes, no cyclones , just bushfires occasionally to threaten the serenity.

 

I won’t mention the Drop Bears though~

Heavenly winter sounds like.

coldest I've ever experienced was 22 years ago. it was 10 degrees with a windchill of 10 below. that is if you were standing still. if you were dumb enough to ride a motorcycle at 65 miles an hour for an hour & 1/2 which my wife & I were, it was much colder. when we got home we spent a couple hours warming back up. that was very nice ... last winter ride we ever took.

Not remembering exact temperatures, last year, the hottest was Too Darn Hot and the coldest this year was, Too Darn Cold. It can hit 100 and feel nice though, Debbie and I experienced that in Hawaii. It's that humidity factor that kills you,
