Domestic winters are harsh, frosty and very long. It is at this time of year that we are so drawn to where it is warm and the sun shines brightly. Do you know which country in the world is the hottest? In which cities on the planet does the air temperature rise to unimaginable levels? You will find answers to these questions in our article.

Climate records of the planet

When in the summer the air warms up to +30 degrees, we languish from the heat and pray to the Almighty for cool rain. But there are hotter places on our planet, where temperature values ​​can reach +40...50 o Celsius. What are these places? And where is the most hot country in the world? Let's find out.

In meteorology, there is such a thing as “absolute temperature maximum.” This highest value air temperature recorded at a certain point on the Earth over the entire history of observations. This is one of the main indicators that allows us to identify the 10 hottest countries (or cities) in the world. So, for example, for Moscow this value is +38.2 o C, but for Athens (the hottest capital of Europe) - +48.0 o C.

Enough for a long time record for globe it was customary to consider the temperature to be +58.2 o C. It was recorded back in 1922 in the desert of Libya, near the city of Tripoli. However, in 2012, the World Meteorological Organization refuted these figures. According to satellite monitoring data earth's surface, the absolute maximum air temperature was recorded in 2005 in the Dasht-Lut area in southwestern Iran (+70.7 o C).

So where is the hottest country in the world located? And how many degrees does the thermometer show on its territory? Read about this later in the article.

The hottest countries in the world: TOP 10

There are many truly “hot” states in the world. Most often, they are located in the equatorial and tropical latitudes. After all, these are the parts of the globe that receive per year greatest number solar heat. But which country is the hottest in the world? To be called such, it must have high temperatures throughout the entire calendar year.

So, the ten hottest countries in the world have next view:

• Ethiopia (10th place).
• Indonesia (9th place).
• Jamaica (8th place).
• India (7th place).
• Malaysia (6th place).
• Vietnam (5th place).
• Bahrain (4th place).
• UAE (3rd place).
• Botswana (2nd place).
• Qatar (1st place).

• Dubai, UAE).
• Baghdad (Iraq).
• Kuwait City (Kuwait).
• Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia).
• Ahvaz (Iran).

Ethiopia

Ethiopia is located in eastern Africa. Since the country is located in near-equatorial latitudes, it is not much cooler here in winter than in summer. The climate is extremely dry and hot eastern regions Ethiopia.

Indonesia

Average temperature of the warm season: +31 o C.

There is no division into seasons as such in Indonesia. Annual fluctuations in temperature values ​​here do not exceed 3-5 degrees. The Indonesian heat is significantly complicated by high air humidity, due to the proximity open ocean. However, in the mountainous regions of this island country it is quite possible to freeze even in the hottest months of the year.

Jamaica

Average temperature of the warm season: +31 o C.

Jamaica's climate is tropical maritime, very humid. It is just as hot here in winter as in summer. But the distribution of precipitation is strictly seasonal. Most of rain falls in autumn. According to historical reports, the first European colonizers in Jamaica had a hard time. It took a long time for Europeans to adapt to the unusual Jamaican climate.

India

India is an original and colorful country, one of the most popular among tourists. It is reliably protected from the harsh northern winds by the chain of the Himalayan mountains. But hot air from the Thar Desert spreads freely throughout almost its entire territory. Unlike all of the above countries, India experiences some seasonality in the climate: in winter, average air temperatures here drop to +15 degrees.

Malaysia

Average temperature of the warm season: +32 o C.

The Asian state of Malaysia is in the middle of our ranking. The climate here is humid (due to the proximity of the sea) and hot (due to the proximity to the equator). However, the Malaysian heat is slightly “diluted” by the monsoons, which bring heavy and prolonged rains in spring and autumn.

Vietnam

A similar situation is observed in Vietnam: during the transition seasons of the year, the monsoons bring with them precipitation and, often, typhoons. But the winter in this country is quite dry, even compared to the hot summer. Overall, Vietnam is the hottest country in South-East Asia.

Bahrain

Average temperature of the warm season: +33 o C.

The tiny kingdom of Bahrain is located on an island archipelago in the Persian Gulf. Abundance tropical deserts minimizes the amount of precipitation and, as a result, air humidity levels. In summer, air temperatures here are often kept at around +40 degrees, but in winter they drop to +17 o C.

United Arab Emirates

Average temperature of the warm season: +37 o C.

In the UAE, the climate is extremely dry and hot. The hottest months of the year are July and August. At the same time, the heat does not subside even at night, remaining at a level of +34...35 o C. Almost the entire territory of the UAE is covered with sand. But this did not stop the Arab sheikhs from turning their country into one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Middle East.

Botswana

Average temperature of the warm season: +40 o C.

Another African country in our ranking is Botswana. Two seasons are clearly distinguished here: hot winter (since it is Southern Hemisphere) and relatively cool summer, when the air temperature averages +25 degrees. Within the Kalahari Desert, even slight frosts sometimes occur.

Qatar

Average temperature of the warm season: +41 o C.

Finally, the hottest country in the world is Qatar. Locals They are not particularly surprised when they see values ​​of +50 degrees on their thermometer. And it's in the shade! Most of the country is occupied by deserts, so wind blows here throughout the year. sandstorms.

One of Qatar's main problems is the shortage drinking water. It is solved by desalination. This is why water in this country costs more than gasoline.

23 May

There are many in the world warm countries, where even in winter the temperature does not drop below zero. However, even the World Meteorological Organization cannot give the title of the warmest city to a specific locality. It is not always possible, for example, to confirm that the maximum temperature was recorded in a particular city. In addition, “warmth” is affected by general temperature changes throughout the year, the amount of precipitation and even the number of victims due to excessive heat.

Where is it warm all year round?

Each part of the world has its own city that fits the description of the warmest. There is such a point even in Antarctica - at the Wanda station in 1974 a record 15° above 0 was recorded. However, there are cities in the world that are much warmer and more comfortable than research stations.

Europe

The hottest city in Europe is Athens in Greece, as the city recorded a record temperature of +48° in July 1977. But according to averages, the warmest city today is the city of Nicosia in Cyprus. Even in winter, the temperature does not drop below +5° at night.

Asia

In Asia, the highest temperature was recorded in Bangkok, Thailand. The heat reached +57°, which is not surprising, because in the city all year round The heat is unbearably hot at 30°. But at the same time the title of the most warm place Kuwait goes away throughout the year, because in the capital Kuwait in the summer the temperature does not drop below +22°, and in the winter - below +7°. The situation is little better in Hong Kong, where in the warm season the thermometer increasingly shows above +50°.

Some tourists believe that Ahvaz in Iran deserves the title of the warmest city, but unlike most warm settlements, in winter the thermometer here shows about -4°. The same situation is typical for Armenia, where, despite the heat in summer, residents see snow in winter.

North America

The hottest place North America is considered Death Valley, where already in 1913 meteorologists noted +57°. The hottest city throughout the year is the city of El Paso in the USA, where the average temperature in winter is +10°. However, Las Vegas and Phoenix in the USA, as well as Mexicali in Mexico, also claim this place. In all populated areas the temperature is approaching the “cherished” +57°, so with further warming, most likely, this record will be broken in the coming years.

South America

And here South America, despite its name, has a cooler climate than Mexico and the southern United States, so the temperature maximum of +49° recorded in 1905 in Rivadavia (Argentina) has not yet been broken. The city of Barrancabermeja in Colombia remains the warmest throughout the year. Temperatures have slight fluctuations and remain around 28° during hot and cold months. The city of Corriverton in Guyana has approximately the same indicators.

Africa

Africa is considered the hottest continent. It is believed that it was here that the world war was beaten temperature record- almost +59°. The bearer of the title of “hottest city” was Al-Azizia in Libya, but the World Meteorological Organization did not receive official evidence of this fact, so despite the assurances local authorities, it is difficult to trust this information. Next on the list is the city of Kebili in Tunisia, where +55° was recorded.

But among the hottest cities throughout the year is Dallol in Ethiopia. This is not even a city, but a small settlement, but for 6 whole years the average temperature here remained at +36°. Perhaps this is precisely the reason why in this moment the settlement is abandoned.

Australia

The maximum temperature in Australia (+53°) was recorded in the city of Cloncurry in Australia in 1889. Officially, no city has broken this record. However, in 1960, the city of Odnadatta approached this mark, and a little later Melbourne. Among the most “permanent” cities, it is worth noting Darwin, where the temperature stays around +30° throughout the year.
