Are you afraid of the heat? Do you think that there is a hot summer in your area? Probably, you have never been to the driest places on the planet, which we will talk about today in our top.
Death Valley, California, USA
In July 1913, the air temperature in Furnes Creek was + 56 ° C. Some people think that the overheated sand has simply confused the equipment at the weather station due to the sandstorm. In any case, the tiny city in the great Death Valley is no stranger to the heat - record temperatures are recorded here almost every year.
El Azizia, Libya
It's very hot here! VERY HOT! It is the site of an ancient trade route leading to nearby Tripoli. The landscape is pretty typical - everything is as we imagine: a hot desert with golden sand dunes, occasional oases and cloudless skies. Residents tend to be more active at night: they take up housework and go to the market before dawn, when the street is tolerable. The temperature record for this area was + 58.8 ° C.
Flaming Mountains, China
A lifeless strip of red relief is located in the Taklamakan Desert, the usual air temperature here can reach + 60 ° C. The heat comes from radioactive rocks. Unverified soil surface readings in 2008 were + 67 ° C.
Lut Desert, Iran
The Iranian Lut Desert looks like a separate planet with its dramatic plateaus and countless colossal sand castles that dot the salt desert. One of the hottest places in Lut is called Gandom Berian , which means toasted wheat in Persian. The highest temperature was recorded at + 70.7 ° C.
Sahara Desert
The Sahara is the largest hot desert on earth, making up almost the entire upper half of Africa. It is a sandy hell that is easily identifiable from space. Water in the Sahara evaporates quickly. The soil temperature often exceeds + 76.6 ° C. It is impossible to walk in the desert without special shoes or a camel.
