I was in Las Vegas last August where it was never less than 103* early afternoon and a week later i was in Orlando where it was 93* daily and despite the 10 degree difference i found Orlando felt hotter due to the humidity,which is almost non existant in LV[8D]
John.
I knew I had one somewhere.
Predictably enough this is Death Valley. I took this in the middle of summer. It's notable because this is the temperature in the shade. The temperature out in the full sun was, literally, unbearable. It was possible to manage a couple of minutes to take a few photos but no more. We ended up with very sore eyes when we stopped at Badwater. On hot days the salt concentration present in the air makes your eyes water but the sheer heat evaporates the tears before they can wash your eye surface clean.
It's an interesting enough place to visit, but give me Florida anyday.

We were in Minorca in June 2003. Like you Liesa we roasted at 38c for the week. Unbelievable weather. 2003 we also went to Disneyland Paris and the temperature hit 72c in the middle of March. We thought we must have taken exceptional weather around with us that year.

When we were in Las Vegas last year, the temperature was 110-155 degrees - Florida can seem quite mild by comparison

Altho the intense sun in Vegas sears into your skin I find it a more "comfortable" heat than the hotter months in Orlando. No matter what the temp in Vegas I don't feel hot and sweaty like I do in Orlando - not that I complain about that

We've got the same picture somewhere Steve. It's certainly VERY hot there !

I know what you meanMy 2nd trip to Florida was a bit of a shock too, I had only packed T's and shorts (remembering how hot it had been in May previous!) for our Jan/Feb trip, and some days were quite icy(had to go shopping for trousers and a Disney Sweatshirt[^]Mind you, there were days it was 70+ too, and it didn't spoil our park days at all, in fact that was one of our favourite trips for lots of reasons!! Still had those fabulous blue skies everyday too!!
Although it was cold in the morning, like you say CarolAnn everyday ended up sunny![msncool]
Just a bit too cold to have our brekkie by the pool![msncry]
