Belém just got posted and Latin America still has 33 cities remaining. Hint: where are the hottest cities of Northern America and how hot are their summers compared to Belém?

My SF home, which is very near Sutro Tower at 3:00 PM most every day in July and August is 52F to 54 F with a 20 MPH wind, fog, and about 90% humidity. It can definitely feel like a winter day with the wind howling.

Sounds about right.

I still don't get this conversation. If we're comparing temps, compare year-round. If we're only comparing summer temps, compare hours where people are doing summery things, or what's the point.

Why a comparison of 3 AM July temps? Then you get weird rankings where the warmest cities are coldest and vice-versa, bc a lot of metros closer to the equator are mountainous, and temps are year-round stable. But no one would seriously argue that Minneapolis is warmer than Bogota.

Minneapolis has warmer summer nights than Bogotá. That’s the point.

Case in point:

23C in Minneapolis right now, 12C in Bogotá.

Though at least in terms of temperatures, Bogotá does not really have a summer and a winter. Temperatures are the same year-round.

[lio45]

+27C right now in Yakutsk, Siberia (record low temp -64.4C; average January low -40C) and going up to +31C today.

Warmer than Bogotá most of the time -- during summer.

Winter, that's another story ...

Why can't we compare how hot cities around the world get? Fact of the matter is Bogota doesn't ever get hot, it's just pleasantly mild year round. I mean the average July high in Minneapolis is 28.6C. That's literally the exact temperature for the all time record high in Bogota, but in Minneapolis it's an average July day. You want to know what's the record high in Minneapolis? 42C, that's a whole 30F hotter than Bogota's.

Why are you fixated on 3am? The diurnal range in July in Minneapolis is 10.1C. The diurnal range in Bogota is 9.3C-12.6C.

I'm not sure what you consider summery things. Is going fishing in the early morning not a summery activity where you're from? Or taking the dog on a morning walk? Or camping? Or sleeping with the window open? Or having a morning coffee at the local cafe patio?

But even if all you care is the temperature at the beach at 3pm (fyi Bogota is kinda landlocked and doesn't have any beaches), then Minneapolis is a full 15F warmer at 3pm in July than Bogota ever gets in any month. Indeed, even if Bogota did have beaches, I'm not sure people would be swimming much because with a high temperature of 19-20C and low temperature of 8-10C I doubt the water would be very warm. Even Yellowknife might have a better chance of swimmable water in small local lakes, even if only for a few weeks in late July-early August. If you're more into outdoor pools, then pool season is about 4 months in Minneapolis. Not sure if outdoor pools are much of a thing in Bogota.

There's literally no point in having A/C in Bogota - you would never use it. But A/C absolutely would have some utility in Minneapolis, you'd probably be using it for most of the summer. Does that not mean Minneapolis gets hotter in the summer than Bogota?

Athens?

[lio45]

I just verified the list and didn't see Athens revealed yet, so I'm now pretty confident in my guess

I'm looking forward to what Chinese city is the hottest. I'm going to guess Wuhan, the middle of the Three Furnace cities.

Edit: Went looking through Wiki, and I won't give it away, but the hottest I found were two cities sharing a 29.8 C average.
