Top 7 Hottest American Cities

BS
It is a common desire to live somewhere where the sun shines all year long and short sleeves and shorts are the only things you need to go outside. Although there are the occasional few who love living where the snow falls all winter long and wouldn't have it any other way, the majority of people find themselves wishing for warmer weather. They say to be careful what you wish for, and they are right, there is definitely such a thing as "too hot." So, whenever you find yourself wishing that you lived somewhere that was hot all year long, remember these places and really think about whether or not you would want to live in this kind of weather. Here are the cities with the highest ever recorded temperatures in the United States.

San Antonio

When you think of hot weather, a few states should pop into your head right away and Texas is one of them. San Antonio, Texas is tied with two other cities for the seventh highest recorded temperature in the United States, 111 degrees Fahrenheit.

San Diego

California is another one of those states that you would expect warm weather from. San Diego has also recorded an unusually high temperature of 111 degree Fahrenheit during the summer time.

Long Beach

The last of the three cities tied for seventh place for the highest recorded temperature ever, is also out of California.

Austin

Another Texas city manages to make it onto the list. In sixth place for the highest recorded temperature in the United States is Austin, Texas. For the sixth spot on the list, Austin is also tied with two other very hot cities with a temperature of 112 degrees Fahrenheit.

Los Angeles

One of the most popular cities in the entire country makes it onto the list with the same high temperature as Austin, 112 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fresno

Fresno, California is the last of the three cities that are currently tied for the sixth hottest temperature ever recorded.

Dallas

Another very popular city, Dallas Forth Worth, Texas claims on of the highest temperatures in America. Dallas comes in at five on the list with an all time high temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit.

El Paso

Anyone who has ever been to El Paso, Texas during the summertime can tell you that this comes as no surprise. El Paso takes fourth place on the list with a temperature of 114 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sacramento

With a record high temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit, Sacramento earns its spot on the list of highest temperatures ever recorded. Sacramento, California claims the high number four ranking on the list.

Las Vegas

A change from the rest of the list, the city tied for second place with the highest ranking temperature is located in Nevada rather than Texas or California. Las Vegas jumps into running for second with a very high 117 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tucson

Texas and California have nothing on Arizona when it comes to outrageously hot weather. Tucson ties with Las Vegas by having the second hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States.

Phoenix

Taking the number one spot on the list is Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix has the highest recorded temperature in the history of the United States, and those who live there should not be surprised. With an incredibly high 122 degrees Fahrenheit, Phoenix definitely deserves this title.

    These might be the hottest cities to live in but the hottest temperature ever recorded was at Death Valley CA. It reached 134. The Rio Grande Valley in far West Texas is already seeing 106 degrees and it only gets worse.

    I don't know which is worse - too hot or too cold. I hate both!
