Think the
heat is already taking on your body in March, well ahead of the real
summer that hits you hard in April and May? Take a look at these five
places where temperatures recorded seems to be on your cooking scales.
Lut Desert (Iran): 70.7° C
Dasht-e
Lut as the Persians love to call it, this desert is literally scorching
hot. For 5 years in a row, it has been the hottest place on earth and
there is no reason to believe it
would cool down soon. With the gross lack of vegetation or any animal
life in the 5,400sq.km desert, you can just guess why.
Queensland (Australia) 68.9° C
The
temperature here is so high, the averages are in the mid 40s on the
Celsuis scale in Summer. The country side trains in Queensland have been
canceled due to fear of train tracks buckling in the heat.
Al Aziziyah ( Libya) 57.8 ° C
Earlier
in 1922, the place held the record for being the hottest place on earth.
It is not very high now but well over 50°C usually to make you most
uncomfortable.
Kebili (Tunisia): 55° C
This
place is so hot, experts believe, solar panels can be used most
efficiently in Kebili. This also happens to be the oldest towns in South
Africa and Africa. Wonder how early people lived here!
Death Valley (US) Temperature: 56.7 ° C
47°C
during summers in the usually cool North American places is quite too
much to handle. Death Valley is the driest place on earth. It is lower
than the sea altitude at 86 below sea level.
Now, our summers don't really hurt, huh? All you have to do is maintain proper diet and water intake while using some coolers
