When I was stationed at Ft. Irwin we had a single day at 134 F.

They actually closed the post and cancelled all training that day. VERY VERY hot

Maybe 30-35C.

And I was dying then. I sincerely doubt that natural Scandinavians are built for heat. Guess we could overcome it with training, but at that temperature, I stop functioning properly.

I'd rather have -30C. At least then you can do stuff and have fun.

Highest temp was in Saudi Arabia, mid to upper 130's during the day and down to the 90's at night. It was a dry heat so was somewhat bearable as long as there was no physical activity. Our "sleep" time was between 10am and 3pm, with training and patrols etc being carried out at night due to the cooler temps.

Most oppressive heat was at Ft Stewart Georgia, near triple digit heat with hi-90's humidity.

Can Identify with that, got out of the back seat of a phantom in Libia in the '60, it was so hot I nearly fainted.
Saudi late '70s had a week of over 120 in the compound don't remember the single high though.

I think it was 112 degrees while hiking at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.  I think the 20-pound pack and hiking non-stop for hours increased the discomfort.

Looks I got this one beat..so far. 141 F at Dahrahn, Saudi Arabia in July.  However in August it was much more miserable.    The temps subsided a little to the 120's but the humididty rose to 100%

Altec... stationed at Ft. Irwin?! Ugh... dustbowl flashbacks... that is a miserable chunk of land there... thank goodness I never went through there in the summer.

Don't think I have ever been in more than 108 F.

Was out there for a year and a half. Spent 25 days a month in the field as a track mechanic. Anytime I think things are hard, or I hear people complain about working overtime sitting in thier cubicals I laugh. I remeber one day I had working on a line of 12 tanks that all needed engine swaps. Me and four others worked 36 hours straight with no food or breaks. Just coffee with sand in it. After that everything in life just kinda pales.
