These are the ten hottest weather temperature days in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, dating back to 1878. People often call Atlanta, Hotlanta, but as you will see that has far more to do with the humidity levels in Atlanta than it does with the actual temperature levels.
The cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Baltimore have all had at least one record hottest temperature that is equal to or above the hottest temperature ever recorded in Atlanta. Not too many people would believe that, but it's the truth.
