Temperate climate allows residents of mid-latitudes to enjoy winter snow and summer beach vacation... Temperatures above 30 ° C are real heat, and on such days you don't want to leave the house. But there are hot places on Earth, where +35 ° C for local population - this is the most pleasant coolness.

People are used to living here permanently, unlike tourists. And visitors should pay special attention to the climate in these natural sitesto protect yourself from the damaging heat.

Until recently, 57.8 ° C was considered a record high. The 1922 figures were recorded in the African city of El-Aziziya, Libya. The fact is controversial, many meteorologists consider it invalid.

On the planet Earth, according to scientists, this is not the hottest place at all. The peaks of positive values \u200b\u200bfall on remote corners where there is no measuring equipment, these are the territories of the Sahara, Gobi and Sonora deserts.

Ethiopian Dallol

A unique place in the north of Ethiopia, in the area natural depression Danakil. Average annual temperature here +34.4 ° C. For months, it does not fall below +38 ° C, and there is practically no difference between winter and summer. Even 50 years ago, people lived here and mined ore. Today only rare tourists come here.

The hottest places on Earth need to start with Ethiopian Dallol.

Dallol is the name of a place, an abandoned village and a volcano in the Afar Basin.

The landscape of the valley, located 130 m below sea level, is unusual. It is distinguished by massifs of multi-colored influxes of bizarre shapes, craters of mud volcanoes, sulfur fumaroles and travertines. The heat is not the most terrifying, but it is constant all year round... It is supported by two sources: the Sun and active volcanosurrounded by numerous thermal springs.

Athens

The hottest places on Earth in Europe are Greece, the capital of Athens, the center of the birth of world civilization. 42 m above sea level. On July 10, 1977, the air temperature rose to +48 ° C. A little later, in neighboring Spain and Portugal, the thermometers rose to +50 ° C, but these figures were not taken into account due to doubts about the accuracy of the measuring instruments.

The climate is subtropical semi-desert. The average daily temperature in summer is + 28-30 ° C, in winter - + 10-12 ° C. The precipitation is about 398 mm. The heat is softened by moist breezes from the Aegean Sea. More than 3 million people live in Athens permanently, not counting tourists and visiting workers. From 2 pm to 6 pm - rest period.

A sign of tactlessness to call at this time, make noise, make appointments. Almost every Sunday, the city hosts some kind of fun holiday or festival, which attracts crowds of tourists and Athenians.

Villa de Maria

Argentinean city in the province of Cordoba is the hottest in South America... The climate is subtropical oceanic. 02.01. In 1920, the thermometer exceeded +49.1 ° C in the shade. In January, there is summer with an average value of +32 ° C, winter is in June +18.8 ° C. The population is small, only about 5,000 people.

Odnadatta

The hottest places on Earth in Australia are located in its southern part, at an altitude of 112 m above sea level, on the outskirts of the Simpson Desert. The absolute temperature record was recorded in January 1960 and amounted to + 50.7 ° C. Aboriginal people say that such a jump in temperature destroyed all bed bugs.

But still, people are uncomfortable living here, so the population of the town does not exceed 300 people. The climate is desert. The hottest month is January with a maximum of + 34 ° C and a minimum of + 24 ° C. The average annual temperature in Odnadatta is +21.7 ° C.

Timbuktu

This African city is located on the southern outskirts of the Sahara, one of the largest and hottest deserts in the world. The climate is sharply continental. It was here that the temperature maximum was +54.5 degrees Celsius. The city is located in the Republic of Mali, at the bend of the Niger River, and the state itself has no outlet to the sea.

Timbuktu is one of the most densely populated African cities.

The hottest places on Earth are in the Sahara Desert. It is also one of the most dangerous, but actively visited by tourists from all over the world. The natives have learned to cope with the omnipresent heat. But travelers should take care of themselves thoroughly.

Kebili

This is a very beautiful and at the same time very hot city, spread out at the intersection of caravan routes in Tunisia (Africa). Infernal temperatures, reaching 55 ° C during the day, and falling below zero at night, do not scare its inhabitants. Kebili was inhabited 200 thousand years ago and until the 30s of the twentieth century there was a slave market.

Numerous green oases where you can cool off with water and relax in the shade are located throughout the city. And for those working in the hottest afternoon, siesta is obligatory. For the inhabitants of this region, such a climate is the norm, they are accustomed to temperatures at which it would be difficult for an ordinary inhabitant of middle latitudes not only to function, but to simply survive.

Death Valley

One of the most visited tourist destinations in California. Here it is national reserveand it is the lowest point in North America. For a long time it was considered the hottest place on Earth. On July 10, 1913, the temperature of + 56.7 ° C became the official recorded mark.

Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert 86 m below sea level. Summer is dry. Average temperatures in July +38 ° C, average maximum 46 ° C. Winter with rare precipitation and an average January temperature of + 12 ° C. There are years when a drop of precipitation does not fall on the desert land.

Al-Aziziyah

This Libyan desert for a long time was mentioned as one of the hottest places on Earth, along with the Mojave in the United States. In 1922, a record temperature of 57.8 ° C was recorded here. The researchers dispute this result, and suggest an error of 7 degrees. Almost 100 years ago, measuring instruments were not as accurate as they are today.

Al Aziziyah is a really hot place. The average annual temperature is +50 ° C. Unsurprisingly, this city is not a popular place to live. Only about 4,000 inhabitants live here, and the population is constantly falling. It's all about the unbearable temperature and the constantly scorching sun.

Mountains of fire

The hottest places on Earth in Asia are in China, in the Taklamakan Desert, at an altitude of 832 m above sea level. The mountain range is one of the spurs of the Tien Shan and is a chain of desert hills destroyed by erosion, devoid of any vegetation. The red color of the sandstone is evidence of violent volcanic activity. From a distance, the mountains resemble huge tongues of flame.

In ancient times, the Great Silk Road passed along the foot.

The 2008 temperature record was 66.8 ° C. average temperature air 49 ° C, and the soil surface warms up to 82 ° C. No wonder the Fiery Mountains are shrouded in numerous myths and legends and are a symbolic place.

Deshte-Lut

Iran is on our list at 1. 70.7 ° C in the salt marsh Deshte Lut desert on the soil surface! Such an incredible result was recorded by a NASA satellite several years ago using a remote probe. The Deshte Lut Desert is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Top 10 hottest places on Earth where people live: features of life, climate

Of course, many can imagine the high temperature, have been in a sauna or on vacation in a hot country. But living in such conditions constantly is simply unbearable. However, this does not prevent the brave aborigines from settling in such areas, and tourists from actively visiting them. Our ranking of the 10 hottest places on Earth with temperature peaks is discovered by Iran.

The hottest places:

1. Ahvaz,Iran: +47 ° C. Iran is one of the hottest places on Earth. The harsh climate, the scorching sun that almost never sets behind the clouds and rare rain... It may seem that living in a place where the temperature reaches 47 ° C is impossible. In fact, Ahvaz in Iran is teeming with life and the locals have learned to cope with the heat. From 12.00 to 18.00 the city practically dies out. It is difficult to find shops, restaurants or offices during these hours. The Iranians have a siesta at this time, which they take extremely seriously. The city wakes up at sunset. Then Ahvaz literally comes to life.
   
   
2. The second line of the rating is occupied by the cities of Delhi (India) and Dubai (UAE). The peak maximums here reached + 47.9 - 48 ° С. Delhi's climate is tropical monsoon, with an uneven distribution of precipitation, hot May and June and relatively cool, about +14 ° C, in January. The population of about 20 million inhabitants is growing relentlessly. Dubai is a popular tourist destination, the richest emirate on the coast Persian Gulf... The largest financial and economic center not only for the United United Arab Emirates, but also the entire Middle East. 30 ° C January “coolness” gives way here to 48 ° C summer heat. The city's development is greatly facilitated by the numerous free zones economic activity, offshore zones, lack of certain types of taxes, logistics (2 major international airports and 2 seaports, several bus stations, metro, monorail), as well as tourism.
   
   
3. Catenanuova, Sicily: +48.5° C . A commune in Italy with about 5,000 inhabitants. The climate is Mediterranean, with mild, warm, short winters and long, dry, hot summers. The average daily temperature in summer is + 26 ° С, in winter + 10-14 ° С.
   
   
4. Jeddah: +49 ° C. Major city in Saudi Arabia on the coast of the Red Sea. According to legend, here is the tomb of Eve, the foremother of humanity. The average annual temperature is +28 ° С, July-August +32 ° С, January-February 25 ° С. The population is 3.6 million, 45% are Saudi nationals and the rest are foreign workers. It is a major economic, scientific and financial center of the country.
   
   
5. Cordoba, Argentina: +50 ° С. The capital of the province of the same name. The city is located in the subtropical oceanic climate zone. Winter is cool and dry. Summer is hot and rainy. Such conditions are favorable for the year-round growing of fruits and vegetables. Before colonization by the Spaniards, Indian tribes lived here, engaged in cattle breeding and agriculture. Now the population is over 1.7 million people and is employed in mechanical engineering, agriculture, light, aerospace, and military industries.
   
   
6. Rajasthan, India: +50.6 ° C. The largest densely populated Indian state, consisting of 7 administrative units - legions. The population of the state, more than 68 million people, is distinguished by a variety of ethnic, caste and class groups. Until 1961, a system of debt slavery existed here. The area of \u200b\u200bthe territory is 342,239 km², the desert regions of the northern part are rarely inhabited. Less than 400 mm of precipitation falls here annually, temperatures range from + 45 ° С in summer and below 0 ° С in winter.
   
   
7. Sonoran Desert, United States and Mexico: +52 ° C. The huge desert in North America covers an area of \u200b\u200b355,000 km², located in the territories of 2 American states - California and Arizona, as well as 2 Mexican states - Baja California and Sonora. In the heart of the desert is the capital of Arizona - the city of Phoenix with a population of about 1.5 million people. The average annual temperature is 23.9 ° C. In June, the thermometer rises to around 39 ° С, and in winter it keeps around 13-14 ° С. It rains about 50 days a year, with most of the precipitation in July (27 mm). Dust storms are frequent. It is the hottest and driest city in the United States.
   
   
8. Tirat-Zvi, Israel: 53.9 ° C. Sunburned endless sandy deserts and an absolute lack of greenery on the horizon - such a landscape stretches in Tirat Zvi in \u200b\u200bIsrael, in a place where the temperature was 53.9 ° C on June 12, 1942, and little has changed since then. 50 ° C is the norm in this city. This small religious settlement has about 800 inhabitants. The main occupation is growing dates, producing meat. The settlement is located in a valley 220 m below sea level.
   
   
9. Sulaibiya, Kuwait City, Kuwait: +53.6 ° C. This suburb of Kuwait's capital is home to the world's largest waste tire dump. They are brought not only from their own country, but also from neighboring ones. Sometimes tires catch fire and massive fires are put out for months. But the biggest evil is air pollution from the smoke of burning rubber that envelops. It remains a mystery when the work of the reception center will stop, and how the government of the country will solve the problem of disposing of this pile, poisoning the environment. The hot arid climate and dry winds of the Mitraba Desert "warms up" the problem. Thermometer columns here dashingly jump up to +50 ° С, in summer they do not drop below 40 ° С. And precipitation is very rare.
   
   
10. Surprisingly, scientists believe that the hottest places on Earth where people live is the city of El Paso. (USA, Texas) and the city of Jizan (Saudi Arabia). El Paso is located by the Rio Grande, which is why the humidity is always up to 70%. And Jizan is on the coast of the Red Sea. These cities have the highest average annual temperature - about 30 ° C.

Every continent and every country has its own record-breaking high temperature city. In Antarctica, this is the Wanda station with a record of + 15 ° С. In Russia - Volgograd with 45 ° C heat, in Egypt - Safaga and Cairo, in Turkey - Anamur and Alanya, in Iraq - Baghdad. And everywhere people live and work who have adapted to the harsh conditions that seem like hell for the inhabitants of the middle latitudes.

Top 10 hottest uninhabited places on the planet: location, minimum and maximum temperatures

Probably, there are hardly many places on the planet where no man's foot has gone. Even if these places are uninhabited. There are no roads and it is very difficult to get to them. Especially if it becomes an obstacle heatwave and lack of water. Such places are numerous deserts.

People left them long ago, or did not live here at all. And the caravan routes were drowned in the dunes. Only occasionally do desperate travelers come here to capture rare footage.

Top 10 hottest places on the planet:

Today we present a list of the ten hottest regions on planet Earth.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

It is one of the main administrative centers in the country and the largest city in the province of Mecca. The average temperature in January is 22 ° C, in July - October 33 ° C. The lowest temperature in Jeddah was recorded in 1995, it was 3 ° C, and the highest in 2012 was plus 52 ° C.

Wadi Halfa, Sudan

Ahvaz, Iran

Ahvaz is a city located on the banks of the Karun River in the southwestern part of Iran. As the largest city in the province, it consists of two distinctive districts: the new part is an administrative and industrial center located on the right bank of the Karun River and a residential area in the old part of the city on the left bank. According to The World Organization health care for 2011, Ahvaz is the city with the most polluted air in the world. Here, in summer months average temperature is 45 ° C, sometimes it can exceed 50 ° C.

Sulaibiya, Kuwait

The seventh place on the list of the hottest places in the world is occupied by the small city of Sulaibiya located in the province (governorate) of Al-Jahra, Kuwait. In summer, the average temperature here is 47 ° C, and the absolute maximum was recorded in July 2012 - plus 53 ° C.

Tirat Zvi, Israel

Tirat Tzvi is a religious kibbutz with a population of 700 inhabitants (as of 2007). Located in the Beit Sheana Valley in northern Israel. On June 21, 1942, the most heat in Asia - plus 53.9 ° C... However, the authenticity of this measurement remains in doubt.

Arawan, Mali

Aravan is a village located in one of the hottest regions of the planet, in the western part of the largest desert in the world - the Sahara, 243 km north of the city of Timbuktu, Republic of Mali. The population of Aravan is about 300 people, of which only 40 live permanently in the village, the rest are migrants, employed mainly in the Taodenni salt mines. The region has a hot desert climate with a characteristic lack of rainfall and extreme temperatures. The average annual temperature here is about 29 ° C. And the average highs for six consecutive months, from April to September inclusive, exceed 42.8 ° C and can peak b plus 46.6 ° C.

Timbuktu, Mali

Timbuktu is an ancient city located 5 km north of the Niger River, on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, Republic of Mali. At one time it was one of the largest centers of caravan trade in northwest Africa. Today it is a poor city suffering from desertification. The average daily temperature here in the hottest months of the year exceeds 40 ° C, in winter months practically does not fall below plus 20 ° C.

Kebili, Tunisia

In third place in the ranking of the hottest places on Earth is Kebili, a city in the south of Tunisia. It is located in the desert part of the country, near the drying up Lake Shott el-Jerid. It is one of the oldest oases in Tunisia and North Africa... The highest temperature was recorded here in July 1931 - plus 55.0 ° C.

Ghadames, Libya

Ghadames is an oasis in the western part of Libya. It is located about 462 kilometers southwest of the capital Tripoli, near the border with Algeria and Tunisia. Ghadames has an arid climate characterized by long, extremely hot summers and few atmospheric precipitation or their complete absence, as well as short, warm winters. The average maximum temperature here is about 41 ° C.

Death Valley, USA

The driest and hottest region on the planet is Death Valley, an intermontane depression in the Mojave Desert in eastern California, USA. It covers most of the eponymous national park... In the valley on July 10, 1913, the highest air temperature in the world was recorded, it was plus 56.7 ° C... The average maximum temperature in July reaches 46 ° C.

Summer is coming to an end, and many regions of our country once again remembered what heat is, because in some cities and regions the thermometer has more than once ran above the temperature norm. But in comparison with individual regions of our planet, even the highest temperature indicators recorded in most cities simply fade.

There are a number of places that are considered the hottest on our planet. Many of them are so remote and unbearable for life (for example, the Deshte-Lut desert) that even the operation of a weather station is impossible there. To obtain more accurate temperature data from different parts of the globe, NASA launched two satellites and over the past 12 years monitored the temperature of the Earth's surface with a medium-resolution scanning spectroradiometer. Thus, the scientists managed to obtain the missing data.

Most places have some similarities, such as the absence of any vegetation due to extremely low air humidity. In addition, all recorded hot areas are not high above sea level, under the influence of direct sun rays... After getting acquainted with the temperature data, it is hard to believe that any life forms are possible there at all. And although it is rather difficult to talk about an absolute leader, we can still identify the 13 hottest places on our planet.

Dallol, Ethiopia

Dallol is a former mining settlement located in a volcanically active area called the Afar Basin in Ethiopia. Dallol is now a ghost town. In the 60s of the 20th century, when the city was still inhabited, the highest average annual temperature on Earth was recorded here - about 35 ° C.

Coober Pedy, Australia

Perhaps the temperature here is not as high as in other similar regions - it is unbearable enough to drive an entire city underground. Coober Pedy is a living city and is one of the centers for the extraction of Opals, but from a height you will only see how many buildings - the whole city has moved underground. This decision was made to shelter from the sweltering heat, which can reach 45 ° C in the shade, not to mention the regular sandstorms.

El Aziziya, Libya

Occupying a third of the Arabian Peninsula, the Rub al-Khali Desert is one of the largest deserts in the world. Temperatures can reach 56 ° C, and the average annual rainfall is 30 cm.

Death Valley, USA

Death Valley is widely regarded as one of the driest and hottest places on Earth. In July 1913, the highest temperature at that time was recorded here: 56.6 ° C. Located in the Mojave Desert, Death Valley is the driest and hottest place in North America.

Fire Mountain, Tien Shan, China

This mountain range is located in the Taklamakan Desert and is part of the Tien Shan mountain range. This sandstone mountain range is known as the hottest point in China. The highest temperature recorded by a NASA satellite on the ridge is 66.6 ° C.

Queensland, Australia

Although it is not easy to record accurate temperatures in this region due to its uneven population, it is known for its hot climate, especially during dry periods. So, in 2003, a NASA satellite recorded an incredibly high temperature there - 68.8 ° C.

Deshte Lut, Iran

The deshte-Lut desert, stretching for more than 300 kilometers, was deserted and lifeless. the globe... This sandy-saline desert is lifeless in the truest sense of the word - even bacteria cannot survive here. For all five years, while the NASA satellite studied the temperature background of our planet, it was here that the highest indicators were recorded - 70.7 ° C.

We believe that the people of the middle lane are lucky with the climate. You may think that we are joking or laughing at you, but this is completely serious. After all, we can catch a frosty day with a shining dazzling sun, and incredible freshness, and the smells of spring, and feel the warm embrace of summer. And finally, enjoy all the colors and gifts of autumn. Isn't it a miracle? But today we will talk about completely opposite places on the planet. Places where it is always very hot and there is not even a hint of cold snap and snow. What are the hottest places on Earth?

1. El-Aziziya (Libya).

The desert in the area of \u200b\u200bthe small town of Azizia is considered one of the hottest places in the world. According to the World Meteorological Organization, temperatures can reach 58 ° C. Such a case was recorded in September 1922, but some meteorologists question this figure. However, we can say with confidence that you will not freeze - a daily temperature of 48 ° C is guaranteed.

2. Death Valley (USA).

It is located in California and is considered the driest place in America. In July 1913, a record high of 56.6 ° C was set. In normal summer, temperatures range from 46 to 47 ° C. In this region, as you might guess, life is not in full swing, but some vegetation and animals are still present. Death Valley is surrounded by mountains. Moreover, it is 86 meters below sea level, which explains such a high degree. You can get to it in about 3 hours from Las Vegas. Call in if you are near, just choose a more reliable transport.

3. Dallol (Ethiopia).

The place is located 116 below sea level in the Denakil depression, which is very similar to the location of Death Valley. The hottest places on the planet can be habitable. That is why, unlike Death Valley, people even live in Dallol. The average temperature is 34.7 ° C, which is the highest in the world for settlement... If the situation does not seem hot enough to you, visit Dallol Volcano - the lowest on Earth. It is more expedient to do this in.

4. Deshte-Lut (Iran).

On this desolate plain without a hint of life, at the beginning of 2000, the highest temperature in a year was set - 70.7 ° C. I would like to believe that meteorologists have confused something, but so far no one has denied this figure. In terms of temperature, Deshte-Lut can only lose to the Atacama Desert (Chile), where not a single creature (not even bacteria) survives. You can get to Dashte-Lut with nomads, for example, from the city of Yazd. It borders the desert and is rightfully considered the driest city in Iran.

5. Kebili (Tunisia).

The hottest places in the Sahara are represented by the record holder Kebili. Although the city is a desert, you can still see the locals here. And the whole reason is palm trees, under which you can hide from the merciless sun, and the water that brings you back to life. By the way, the temperature in this area is around 55 ° C.

6. Bangkok (Thailand).

The hottest city on the planet. But since Bangkok is still a city, the temperature here relative to other "flaming" places is moderate - about 30 ° C. In the spring months it rises to 35 ° C with 90% humidity, which makes it unbearable to stay in the city due to the intense stuffiness and smog.

7. Wadi Khalfa (Sudan).

In fact, there is almost no rainfall on this piece of land, and temperatures reach 40 ° C. In April 1967, the air was heated to 53 ° C - a record for the area. By the way, an important fact: Wadi Halfa is considered the sunniest desert. The annual amount of unrelenting here is 4300 hours per year, i.e. about 12 hours a day, people are under a bright hot light, from which there is nowhere to hide.

8. Tirat-Tzvi (Israel).

It is a populated area with 790 inhabitants. The highest temperature was recorded in the summer of 1942 - 54 ° C. Tirat Tzvi is a commune located in the Beit She'an Valley (220 meters below sea level). By the way, now the usual summer temperature for this settlement is 40 ° C. Fortunately, people can cool off a bit by taking a dip in the nearby ponds. It's amazing how the hottest places on the planet are home to so many people!

9. Mountains of Fire (China).

These are sandy hills that literally glow both visually (they are red) and real. In addition, in this place in China in 2008 the air temperature reached incredible marks - 67 ° C, and the earth can heat up to an incredible 82 ° C. With such a name of the area, the figure, of course, is not surprising, but shocking.

10. Rub al-Khali (Arabian Peninsula).

This desert, in principle, is no different from the previous ones - it is just as hot and dry here. Temperatures can reach 56 ° C, average 45 ° C. The desert occupies a huge area (1000 km long and about 500 wide), on which there is almost no vegetation, people (although scientists believe that people and cities existed here several thousand years ago), and the sand heats up to 70 ° C. Animal world is presented richer: from the expected camels, snakes or scorpions to antelope.

The hottest places on earth

According to the latest results of scientific experiments, it was revealed that a person can survive for about an hour at a temperature of +71 degrees. If the indicators rise to +80, any living organism can withstand no more than 20 minutes. There are hellish corners on planet earth, where temperatures above +70 are observed. They are not suitable for life, even for bacteria, since real hell reigns there.

The top 10 includes the hottest places on earthwhere the highest anomalous temperatures ever were recorded.

10. Ethiopian Dallol | Maximum temperature + 40 ° C

Opens the ten hottest corners on our planet, located in Africa. Maximum temperature these unusually beautiful natural edges can reach +40 degrees. It has the highest average annual temperature of 34 degrees. The local landscape reveals a multi-colored panorama reminiscent of a rainbow. Natural colors have painted the local lands in shades of red, black, yellow and orange. This color variety was influenced by the eruption of a local volcano in 1926. Occurred chemical reaction between metals and salts has served to form such a rich natural color. The Ethiopian Dallol is located in the Afar depression, 130 meters below sea level. This place is considered one of the most remote on the planet, where there are no roads.

9. Athens | Maximum temperature + 48 ° С

The capital of Greece is considered one of the hottest places on earth. Record temperatures recorded in this city were +48 degrees. Athens has a subtropical semi-desert climate. In summer, there is widespread drought without any precipitation for several months. Winter in Athens is warm and humid. The soil in Athens is barren and rocky, but despite this, the Greek capital is one of the most prosperous cities. The city occupies an area of \u200b\u200b412 sq. meters, which is surrounded by mountains.

8. Villa de Maria | Maximum temperature + 49.1 ° С

The Argentine city is ranked eighth in the ranking of the hottest corners of the earth. The maximum temperature indicators recorded here reached + 49.1 degrees in 1920. The climate here is considered mild and dry, without winds. Villa de Maria is located between the cities of Cordoba and Mercedes. The city lies at an altitude of 796 meters above sea level.

7. Odnadatta | Maximum temperature + 50.7 ° С

The Australian city, located near the Simpson Desert, is the hottest corner on earth. The absolute temperature maximum recorded here was +50.7 degrees. Average temperatures reach 37.7 degrees. This is the place on the planet where you will definitely not freeze either in winter and certainly not in summer. Thus, the small town managed to take the seventh place in the ranking of the hottest places. Odnatta is located at an altitude of 112 meters above sea level.

6. Timbuktu | Maximum temperature + 55 ° C

One of the hottest places in the world is the capital of the small state of Azavad. The record temperature rise in this corner of the earth was +55 degrees. The city is located near the Sahara Desert. The vegetation in Timbuktu is very modest. Basically, there are baobabs, acacias and palms. May and June are considered the hottest months: the mercury column of the thermometer at this time does not show below +35 degrees.
