Just a few days ago, I had a similar question world wide: What is the highest dew point? I immediately went to the red Persian Gulf area and found the following. On July 8, 2003 Dhahran hourly station reported T=107 and Td=95°F at 1 PM local (Highest dew point I can find anywhere in the world. Please let me know if you can beat that). It yields actual Heat index to be 175°F (un-believable!). Now, we know the upper limit. ??Please see below the WxUndeground hourly chart.
