Highest max temp experienced WA - 49.4c at Roebourne Dec 2011, was already 40c at 7.00am ! A few high 40c's in my 3 summers there. NSW - probably a couple of 45c's at Camden, NSW on several occasions in the last 20 years ( visiting my Mum in summer ) QLD - about 45c passing through Western QLD towns of Winton, Cloncurry and Longreach on several occasions. VIC - 44c ish along the Murray Valley on several occasions, specifically Jan 1990 when it was 45.8c at Tocumwal over the River in NSW. SA - low to mid 40c's travelling in summer months down the Stuart Highway. Stopped at Glendambo....filthy hot, perhaps 44c-45c. TAS - About 38c in Hobart one January day in 1997 while working there, most other days below 20c...haha, bi-polar Southern Ocean climate. NT - Three +45c days, Oct, Nov and Dec 2019 at Bradshaw-Angaliari. Fricken brutal with high humidity and DP's. Near 3 months above 40c ! Awful ! Coldest max temps experienced. I don't do cold....haha, so I block the memories WA - a 12c max in Yandicoogina, Pilbara ( 2015 ) was a shock to the system. Rained all day ( north west cloud band in winter ). NSW - cold snow day at Guyra 1977, maybe 4c max. Oberon Oct 2010, about 2c at noon. Albury, coupla 7c-8c days in the 1970's VIC - coupla 5c-6c days as a kid at Dookie College. Various visits to the ski fields in Vic Alps, perhaps 0c max temps. SA - I don't generally travel south in winter, but have done a job or two in an Adelaide Spring... 15c-16c max ? TAS - 8c max at Cradle Mountain ! In Summer ! Wasn't dressed for it, and had endured weeks of mid 40c temps in the Pilbara prior, so not acclimatised... NT - A 12c in Tennant Creek, a sub 10c in Alice Springs, the worst was a 21.9c max in Darwin in April 2018. Mid afternoon only 18.3c. Just couldn't get warm ! Min Temps. NSW _Probably about -8c at Armidale. QLD - about -15c working in the chiller/freezers at Cape River Meatworks. Issued with Arctic cold weather clothes/boots. Otherwise -2c in a Pentland July 1979 VIC - about -5c as cold as it got along the Murray Valley. WA - as low as 2c at Yandicoogina, Pilbara ( we were nearly 600m asl.) Newman an hour and a half south used to get below zero frosts. SA - close to frosty below 2c temps at the Border Weighbridge out on the Nullabor....and that was in March ! ( bi polar Southern ocean again ! ) TAS - every night below 10c, even in Summer ( only been there in Summer ) NT - sub zeros at Alice Springs -2c ish, 5c at Katherine, various sub 10c's Darwin rural areas, a couple of sub 13c's in 40 years, Darwin Airport. Rainfall Best 24 hour fall Leanyer ( own rain gauge except it overflowed at about 350mm, guessing over 400mm Over 1100mm in 7 days In a 12 month period ( not annual ).In 2011 the suburb recorded, 3,160.0 millimetres (124.41 in), the highest 2010/11 wet season rainfall total recorded in the Northern Territory, breaking the previous all-time record of 3,048.6 millimetres (120.02 in) set in Pirlangimpi on the Melville Island during the 1999/2000 wet season.

I don't even know. In winter 2004/2005 I went to a Ski Resort in Switzerland which may well have recorded the coldest temperatures I've experienced, but I don't have any stats. Coldest I've experienced in the UK is -11°C in December 2010. As for heat, in the UK I've experienced 36°C, here in Sheffield on 25th July 2019. As for internationally, again on one of my school holidays many years ago I may have experienced hotter on the continent, but have no record of any of that.
Storms - I've experienced numerous thunderstorms that have produced tornadoes and large hail in the UK, as they are not that uncommon (surprisingly to some). Dates include: 5th September 1999, 29th September 2006, 15th June 2007, July 2009 some time, 1st July 2015, 26th June 2020. Also, experienced severe windstorms such as the 18th January, 2007 windstorm that killed numerous people across England.
