The consistent weather of being both near the equator and in the middle of the largest ocean on the planet. In summer, the interior of Alaska (like Fairbanks) often gets hotter than Hawaii

No, I understand that. Maybe my comment was poorly worded. I was just wondering if there were any notable places that could have been on this list in, say, 2020 or so, but can't now.

Ah, I see. None of the places I checked for possible inclusion were eliminated by a high temperature from the 2020s. There must be somewhere though.

Surprised to see Singapore. I'm sure the sea keeps the temperatures more moderate. But it's almost on top of the equator.

Singapore feels like one of the hottest places I’ve ever visited, but I think the humidity plays a large role. I guess sea breezes explain Hawaii, but for me, Monaco is the biggest surprise - it’s on the Riviera, it’s absolutely baking down there!

I wouldn't say the Riviera is "baking", its definitely warm though

Quite a surprise that Monaco has never reached such a temperature considering mainland Europe has had some schorching summers lately.

It's on the coast, the highest temperatures are usually at least slightly inland. 35⁰C is still very hot.

Well, according to Monaco's tourist office the highest temperature ever recorder in the Principality was 37.7°C. They missed the quiz's treshold by 0.1°C.

It's tough to play the innocent victim here. The British took some uninhabited islands. Meanwhile, Argentina was killing, enslaving, and stealing the land of its indigenous people:

Of course, this sort of behavior wasn't particularly unusual for the time period, and I don't blame modern Argentinians for what happened then. But crying victim about a minor thing that happened 200 years ago is weak, especially when that same country was perpetuating atrocities during the same time period.

The British empire took the islands to save the indigenous people. Sure.

I think a more accurate quiz description would be "Places where humans have never recorded a temperature of 100° F". Pretty sure at least some of these places have had experienced temperatures over 100° F in prehistory.

Since we're doing non-sovereign countries/areas, add Faroe Islands? Heat record is around 26°C. Trying to find a source but I believe this was in 2003 though 2025 came close too.
