Where is the hottest country or region in the world?

Kuwait is rich in oil and is the hottest country in the world.

When the temperature in the shade is 565438 0℃, the temperature inside the car with the windows closed will rise to 60℃, and the temperature of the asphalt pavement will reach 80℃. If you open the car door carelessly, you will be in danger of being burned.

Kuwait is not only the hottest country, but also a sandstorm area. The northwest wind often blows in July, August and September every year.

Every season, the northwest wind will bring in a lot of dust. At this time, the whole Kuwait was dark, visibility was extremely low, cars could not drive, and flights were grounded. (Source: China Football News)

Hottest country: Sudan has two summers a year.

"Take the tea and put it in a military pot full of cold water. Just dig a hole in the desert and put the pot in. After a few minutes, drinking boiled water to make tea is not a problem. " Sudan, known as the "stove of the world", is not in name only.

Sudan is the largest country in Africa, and the climate varies greatly across the country. Although the annual average temperature is 2 1 celsius, it is really terrible to heat up. Geographically, Sudan is located between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer, and it is one of the countries with the hottest direct sunlight in the world. Astronomically speaking, the sun passes over Sudan twice a year, once from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn; Another time is when the sun returns from the Tropic of Cancer. So people living in Sudan say that there are two summers a year.

In order to cope with the hot weather, people have come up with various ways.

The Hegri region and Muglad basin in southern Sudan are endless primitive tropical rain forests and overgrown swamps. The surface temperature of the basin is as high as 70 degrees Celsius. Bedouin, a nomadic tribe living there, used local materials and painted on thatched houses with weeds and mud. Herdsmen said that this kind of house has no windows and is closed on all sides, so it is difficult for heat waves to come in. People lie on it, spread straw on the ground and sprinkle water. It's cool. Some people can't even afford to build a shack, so they can only enjoy the cool by the river pond, the well or the big tree in the jungle. In addition, most people living in rural areas are used to digging an S-shaped cellar in their yard, where a mattress made of straw and some tableware are placed and they stay in it all day.

Most wealthy Sudanese living in big cities such as Khartoum live in decent buildings, with electric fans and homemade (circulating) water air conditioners or electric air conditioners. Every window glass in the room is coated with a special material, so when you close the window, you can't see the outside room. This material can protect against ultraviolet rays and strong light. The glass window can be used as a mirror when the window is open.

It is difficult to work in hot weather. Conditional workers wear wet towels dipped in water and anti-ultraviolet masks to work. The taste of just wearing a mask is like entering a stuffy jar, suffocating, and the sweat that keeps flowing evaporates instantly. The lower end of the mask often wears the skin on the neck, and it hurts when you sweat. Workers' work clothes were soaked with sweat as soon as they were put on. At work, clothes are wet, wet and dry, and they are covered with sweat and alkali. If you take them off and put them on the ground, they can stand up. People who work in the port are even worse. The seawater is steamed out by the burning sun, and the concrete floor is like a steel plate on the stove. Eggs can be cooked in a short time. People step on it and dare not stand for a long time, otherwise they will burn their feet and have to keep walking.

My Sudanese friend said, "March to May is the first summer in southern Sudan, and 10 to 1 10 is the second summer; March to June is the first summer in the north, and September to 165438+ 10 is the second summer. In Khartoum, the capital, July and August are rainy seasons, and there are many sandstorms from April to 65438+ 10. Khartoum is located in the desert area, with a large number of red clay roads. Sandstorms blow about 30 times a year, which is called' Habib wind' by local people. During the sandstorm, the world is in chaos, reddish brown, heat waves are rolling and dust is pervasive, making it difficult for people to see the scenery 3 meters away. The wind lifts up with sand and stones, sometimes as high as two kilometers. In this weather, flights are grounded and trains are out of service. "

Turkmenistan, the hottest country, will build a desert "ice palace"

Saparmurad Niyazov, President of Turkmenistan, recently announced on national television that this Central Asian country will build an ice palace with a capacity of 1 1,000 people.

Niyazov ordered the construction of an ice and snow palace on the hill outside the capital Ashgabat. Turkmenistan is one of the hottest countries in the world. In its desert area, the highest indoor temperature can reach above 50 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the "Ice Palace" is in danger of melting into a desert, but Niyazov said that it can "let children learn skiing and skating".

It is estimated that this "Ice Palace" will be completed within 10 months. Niyazov also hoped to put a huge fish tank on top of the "Ice Palace" full of tropical fish, and asked for a cable car to connect the "Ice Palace" with the capital in the future.

The cost of this huge construction plan has not been announced. Although Turkmenistan is rich in oil and natural gas resources, the cost is definitely not a small fraction for this underdeveloped country.

The plan to build an "ice palace" has also caused some ridicule and confusion. The Russian newspaper Izvestia sarcastically said: "Building an ice palace is not Niyazov's most ambitious plan, but it will be the most extravagant one. In the former Soviet Union, no one built such a difficult building in such a hot climate. Niyazov was the first Soviet leader to join the Soviet Union and promised to teach children to ski in the desert. "

Turkmenistan, with a population of more than 5 million, is a landlocked country located in the southwest of Central Asia. Turkmenistan borders the Caspian Sea in the west, Kazakhstan in the north, Uzbekistan in the northeast, Afghanistan in the east and Iran in the south. Most of the whole territory is lowland, and 80% of the territory is covered by Karakum Desert. It has a strong continental climate and is one of the driest regions in the world. Summer is hot and rainy, the temperature is generally above 35℃, and winter is cold and dry.
