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?

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?
