Bahrain and Dubai in the summer is warmer than just about anywhere else that will be mentioned-extremely high humidity, well over 100/40C consistently, not just for a few days. Feels like a steambath, clothes are soaked in minutes. The ocean water's so warm that it's not even refreshing to swim in. Sound like Melbourne was like that the last few days, but now it's cooling down, unlike Bahrain it's not staying that way all the time.

117 degrees in Victorville,Ca. Had a summer job in a rock, sand and gravel plant. Funny thing is, you can get adjusted to that dry heat before you know it. Any where in the Mojave desert, low to high desert area,can get like a furnace. Like Palm Springs & Death Valley (low area) to Victorville/Barstow(high desert) and points east. If you white boys want to work on your tans, these are the places to do it. Get well done right away.

In Vegas about 46c / 114f  when I was there, and about 44-45c in Mexico about 8 years ago... stupid hot, just unbearable.

2000 olympic track and field trials in sacramento, ca.  i believe the temp on the track (rubberized cement) was like 122.  I was working the meet, it was so hot that when you opened your mouth, the moisture got sucked out.  I drank fuckloads of water all day long and didn't piss till like 2am, i was sweating like a pig. I think the real temp was like 107, but working down there on the track was ridiculous.

the latest death tolll from the victoria bushfires is 66.

where i live, this is the second year in a row where we've had 2 weeks + of 100F temps with about half that 110F+.

Melbourne "beat us" though..we only had a max of 45.7C (114F)

Still, a few country centres went 117F-118F.

insane when you consider that these arent just spots in the desert, they are quite populated..
