This is a fun filled short write up on phrases used to describe how hot it is in Texas. I've used "hotter than hades", and "hot as all get out' but I've not used any of the other phrases. I'd like to think I'm just too young to have heard them before. Enjoy!

1. Hot as Hades
Though the record high temperature in the underworld is unknown to anyone yet cast down there, it is presumably pretty hot, even by Texas standards.
2. Hot as blue blazes
At some 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the blue portion of a flame is thought to be the very warmest. If something is as hot as blue blazes, it is very hot indeed.
3. Hot as a stolen tamale
If it is as hot as stolen tamale, it can be considered to be doubly hot. Tamales are served piping hot, and slang for something stolen is “hot.” So even though this one is a bit mixed up as a metaphor, it serves its purpose well, and has for a long time.
4. Hot as a billy goat in a pepper patch
Goats are known to possess voracious appetites . . . and are not known to be picky eaters. So a billy goat in a pepper patch will, naturally, consume a lot of peppers—and presumably feel the effects.
5. Hotter than a fur coat in Marfa
Simply put, if it is hotter than a fur coat in Marfa, it is ridiculously hot, both figuratively and literally.
6. Hot as the hinges of hell
The hinges in question here belong to the gates separating life and dreaded perdition. Hinges that are in such close proximity to a pit of fire and brimstone will definitely be some very hot hinges.
7. Hotter than two rats making whoopee in a wool sock
You can imagine. Or not.
8. Hot as H-E-double toothpicks
The polite way to say it’s as hot as hell.
9. Hotter than a burning stump
Anyone who’s ever burned the stump of a deep-rooted mesquite tree will understand this one well. But even if you haven’t, you get the idea.
10. Hot as all get out
Simple, clear, and to the point. “As all get out” is a delightfully versatile Texanism that can be appended to most any superlative situation. “Simone Biles is talented as all get out.” “Glen Powell is hunky as all get out.”

Texas is definitely waaay too hot. Just today I was saying for the first time in my life, the Texas summer is making it feel, "uninhabitable" for me. I'm not sure I've heard too many of these phrases, but I've heard a few! I personally like "Hot as Hades, and "Hot as a stolen tamale" from the list, might have to use them more :p
