Yakutsk all-time record 38.4°C
Miami all-time record 38.0°C
Last summer Yakutsk recorded 35.0°C on July 1. Miami recorded 34.4°C on July 31.
Keep in mind that Yakutsk has similar summer highs as Paris, Porto and Cape Town standing at 25.2°C for 1971-2000, only being way more variable, but suffering from a weaker sun that can cancel out heat spikes too.
I think Yakutsk will win this year too. Something tells me that the four-year cycle of Northern European and Siberian heat will be repeated once more.
What about you?

I'll go with Miami. Hoping for a cooler summer in Yakutsk.  |

Miami, but not by much. Miami's hottest temp in summer will be 96 F vs. 92 F in Yakutsk (my prediction for summer 2018).

I predict a record-high temp in Yakutsk this year. But which will record the coldest?  |

I still think Miami, you can pretty much guarantee that it will get to at least 34C or so and I can't imagine Yakutsk will get that most years.
I think it was Yakutsk where somebody once showed a WO forecast for around the summer solstice where it was 30C+ and 19-20 hours of sunshine every day for a week though, so it can definitely get some extremely impressive summer weather.

I sure hope it will be Yakutsk. Imagine how miserable it must feel to endure those -60 winters and have bad luck in those 4 weeks in July..

agreeing with what boombo said, if two places have similar record highs but one has a much lower average high; there, temperatures near the record would have to be much less likely than the one where the average high is closer to the record. Any plausible distribution of temperatures the much hotter than usual temperatures would be very rare. Miami seems to just have an abrupt cut-off around 100°F. Here's a similar example with Amherst vs San Francisco. San Francisco has an average summer temperature around 69°F or so; while Amherst about 83°F. Similar records; well San Francisco has a record a few degrees warmer than Amherst. Imagine if San Francisco had the same record [shift to the left so the bottom right points match] so it'd be similar to the Miami-Yakutsk situation and you can see hot temperatures are less frequent in San Francisco at all temperatures.  |
