Anyone who considers the Russian summer to be hot should imagine what the people of Qatar have to do with the heat at +50 ° С. Meanwhile, such weather in some parts of our planet is by no means uncommon.
In our ten today are collected the hottest countries in the world. Here +18 ° С is a reason to wrap yourself harder, because the temperature above plus 30 is much more familiar. By the way, contrary to popular belief, not all hot countries are located at the equator.
10. Ethiopia
The average annual temperature in this African country is +35 ° C. In winter, it is around +28 ° C. True, not everyone here is languishing from the heat - the areas located on the Ethiopian Highlands have a milder and wetter climate. Surprisingly, if during the whole year the temperature does not change almost seasonally, the daily differences are significant - up to 15 degrees.
9. Indonesia
The average annual temperature in hot Indonesia is about +30 ° С. Fluctuations in the seasons are insignificant - 3-5 ° С. The climate here is very humid, so without a habit to carry it is quite difficult. By the way, in the highlands of the country there are sometimes frosts.
8. India
The Himalayas cover India from the cold winds from the side of Central Asia, and the Thar desert “supplies” the region with heat. In summer, the temperature in some areas of the country reaches +48 ° C. The lowest temperature on average is +28 ° С. However, in high mountain areas, the thermometer column sometimes drops to -1 ° C.
7. Malaysia
The country is located almost at the equator and has a hot and humid climate. Air temperature throughout the year ranges from +26 to +35 ° C, less often rising to +40 ° C. Small temperature fluctuations and the absence of a rainy season make the country attractive for tourists all year round.
6. Jamaica
The average annual temperature in Jamaica is about +28 ° С. High temperature is combined with high humidity. The first Europeans to land in Jamaica, with great difficulty, got used to the peculiarities of the local climate. Although heat opponents can settle in the Blue Mountains, where temperatures range around +7 ° C
5. Bahrain
The smallest Arab state in the world has a dry tropical climate. The average temperature in summer is around +40 ° С, in winter - not lower than +17 ° С. Deserts prevail in the country, so the air is dry, and there is practically no rainfall.
4. United Arab Emirates
Tour operators do not recommend visiting the UAE in the summer months, since not every traveler can stand +45 ° C in the shade. In winter, the temperature is much more comfortable - about +25 ° C. Precipitation here is infrequent, but sometimes there are sandstorms from the desert of Rub al-Khali.
3. Vietnam + 42 ° C
The average temperature in the country in the winter months is about + 17-20 ° С, in the summer the thermometer rises to 42 ° С. The southern part of Vietnam is worth visiting from December to April, but it is better to go to the central and northern parts of the country from May to October.
2. Botswana +40 ° C
The country is located in the southern hemisphere, therefore, the concept of winter and summer is different from the usual for us. So, in January it happens +40 ° С, but in July it breathes easier, as the air warms up “only” to +25 ° С. 70% of Botswana’s area is occupied by the Kalahari Desert, which, of course, does not make the climate more comfortable.
1. Qatar +50 ° C
In summer, in the hottest country in the world, the thermometer sometimes rises to +50 ° C. On the coast of Qatar, air humidity reaches 90%, so the local climate is simply disastrous for an unusual person. True, for such an extreme climate, nature paid off with a wealth of mineral resources, giving it reserves of oil and natural gas. Qatar is the leader in the ranking of states in terms of per capita GDP.
