Hottest, would probably be Dubai with a very dry 44C day, while we had a tour around the market. Surprisingly, due to the combination of fantastic airconditioning everywhere you go (you step in and feel the chill, as opposed to Italy, which says it has airconditioning but that just means it's not quite as hot as outside) and shade and dry air, it didn't feel that hot. Felt like 33C - 35C, so hot but not hideous.
Usually we get a few hot days here over summer, but hitting 40C-42C is a rarity and doesn't even happen every summer.
Coldest... hmmm. Under 16 y.o., I grew up in Canberra. It's the nation's capital, but it's also in a valley and near the Snowy Mountains (which, true to their name, are cold and snowy). Overnight cold once hit -8C -- and the nature of those days is that it stays pretty cold in the morning, but will get up to 13C and sunny for a few hours at midday -- but my memories of winter are occasionally hiding my head under the covers in the middle of the night (cold nose) and wrapping up with scarves / beanies / gloves, trying to hide skin from the freezing air while waiting for the school bus.
Given that I get asthma from the cold -- which I don't ski or do any holidays that involve cold -- there's no way I'd ever consider moving back there.
