Top hottest places on Earth

As scorching heat waves continue to plague countries worldwide, Bangladesh is enduring its share of blistering heat. It might be hard to imagine going to places where it's even hotter, where the temperature often goes over 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. 

However, there are places where the blazing sun dominates worldwide, leaving their names in the history of weather extremes. 

Death Valley in California

It is top of the list, known for its barren landscape and intense temperatures. With a record high of 57 degrees Celsius, this barren landscape has an average summer temperature of around 47 degrees Celsius, challenging even the most tenacious spirits. 

Despite its arid environment, a few people call Death Valley their home, beating the odds in this hostile environment.

Kebili in Tunisia

Going to North Africa, Kebili in Tunisia stands out as one of the hottest places on Earth, with an average summer temperature of roughly 40 degrees Celsius. Despite the harsh conditions, the ancient oasis supports a community of more than 156 thousand people, showing human resilience in the face of adversity.

Mitribah, Kuwait

Mitribah basks in the scorching embrace of summer, with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, forcing residents to seek shelter in air-conditioned buildings. Azizia in Libya suffers from blistering temperatures; however, a previously challenged historical temperature record now confirms its status as a furnace, with mercury levels topping 48 degrees Celsius.

Dallol, Ethiopia

The highest average temperature among inhabited places is considered on the world map of heat extremes. Dallol's remote position involves long travels, typically on donkeys, to experience its strange environment firsthand.

Sahara Desert

The Sahara Desert stands out as a heat colossus, with temperatures reaching astounding heights and blistering sand temperatures of 83.5 degrees Celsius. Iran's 

Dasht-e Lut and Australia's Oodnadatta provide no relief, with arid landscapes witnessing some of the highest recorded temperatures.

Timbuktu, Mali

The search for the top ten hottest places on Earth concludes in Timbuktu, Mali, a city steeped in history and culture amid a harsh desert climate. Temperatures rarely fall below 30 degrees Celsius here, and summer days may be unbearably hot, reaching 40 degrees Celsius.
