With all these heat waves across the Northern Hemisphere, there have been some very high daytime maxima and night minima. Without doing too much research, i have read that in Sibi, Pakistan there was a minima of 37C(!) on 27th June 2010. Anyone know what the record high minima anywhere in the world is, or anything higher than 37C?

Death valley is a good culprit as is saudi arabia too.... epescially when the datime max are fast approaching 50C :)

37C must be pretty close. Try looking for records around the Persian Gulf, my bet would be around there.

Interestingly, i found a weather station located on one of the man made palm tree islands in Dubai! It's only been up for a couple of weeks, and the highest minima is 37.0C!

40C at 6am in Iraq! The data is a bit sporadic, but that's not surprising.

Can't see a minima being much higher than 40C!

I'd be surprised if Death Valley was a good culprit - don't they have quite low minima considering it's a desert?
