The Hottest Cities to Live In

Kuwait
Not everyone lives in a place to experience summer all year round. For those who live in places where summer is rather fleeting, here we take a look at the top 5 warmest cities in the world to live in. Quick, pack that sombrero and maybe a fan!

1. Kuwait City, Kuwait

As the capital of Kuwait and part of a metropolis that extends into the desert, temperatures can exceed over 46 °C (115 °F) here, way higher than most other cities anywhere on earth. With little rainfall and frequent dust storms, it little wonder that it ranks as one of the hottest places on the planet.


2. Ahwaz, Iran

This desert city in western Iran is consistently one of the warmest places to be during the summer months, with temperatures often exeeding 50 degrees °C and the mercury hitting an average of 46 °C (115 °F). There are long hot summers, with sand and dust storms, and short, mild winters.

3. Jizan City, Saudi Arabia

Situated on the Red Sea coast, Jizan has a hot desert climate, which has an average annual temperature of 30 °C (86 °F). It may not experience the same searing summer heat of some cities but it has one of the hottest all year round temperatures.


4. Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is known for its sizzling temperatures and has previously been named the World's Hottest City by the World Meteorological Organisation. It may not get the record as the warmest metropolis every day but is a consistently hot place most of the year round. Temperatures often reach 38 °C (100 °F) and, even during the night, are still around 33 °C (91 °F). Make sure you drink plenty of water on your travels here!

5. El Azizia, Libya

El Azizia's, sometimes known as Aziziya, is the capital of the Jafara district in northwestern Libya. It made the record books in 1922 when a weather station here recorded the highest temperature ever measured on the planet, at a red-hot 58 °C (136.4 °F). This record remained until 2012 when the World Meteorological Organisation deemed it invalid. Despite this, temperatures regularly climb to over 49°C (120 °F) in the summer time - ice-cream anyone?
