Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
Kevin Carden asks, What are the hottest and coldest temperatures you’ve ever experienced during your travels, and where were they? How brutal did they feel? I have experienced -30° F wind chill in Alaska and 117° F air temp in Indio, California, but I imagine you’ve likely been in greater extremes.
The hottest I’ve ever seen was in the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia. The temperature in the exterior thermometer in the car I was in read 50C, which is 122F. I also experienced very close to the same temperature when I visited Uluru in Australia in the summer.
The coldest I’ve experienced was somewhere around -40 to -45F, which is close to the same in Celsius. That doesn’t include any wind chill, just raw temperature. I experienced that is Whitehorse, Yukon in the winter.
