    I live in Phoenix and the temp. reaches to 118 on occaisions. So yes, fairly speaking, we do have it that bad. Last year there was 45 days that were over 110, which is pretty normal We even have records of 11 or 12 days that are 116 in the year alone. We can’t swim becauseits so hot.

    Are you joking?? Where i live, (mexicali, mexico) on summer, lower temperatures are of 46° Celsius, and maxium registered this year was 52° Celsius, but what makes me think you are joking is the humidity thing, i mean, here its really really dry, but when it gets very humid, it really feels horrible, you start sweating like if you have been excersising for hours, and its really hard to breath.
    When it is dry, and its 52° Celsius, it really does not feel so bad, at least i dont even use my car A/C.
    Still i cant imagine been at least one minute on that iran desert, that would really be a hot experience

    Assia is hot in everything, the weather is not talkable girls are cool and he hottest mentality which is full of scrab. When we refere to the hottest weather on earth some people miss understand and say Africa I will say those are people who never study even bit of geography or may be the book was written with errors. Asia is the birth place of heat. I have never experience such heat in any part of the Earth to the places I have been to but here in Asia My electricity bill runs above $140 as I turn on my Air corn day in and day out.
    China expecially with all their mentality thatAfrica is hot its the place where I am based corrently and I wonder which part of Africa is having such a heat here. yet they told me the city is not yet hot when it rise up to 42 Dc let the greographers work on this and sensitize those who deserve it.

    There is a big discussion about the hottest spot on Earth. Many believe it is in Al Azizyah, Libya, with a recorded temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit (57.8 Celsius), and the second hottest place being in Death Valley, California, USA, where it got up to 134 Fahrenheit in 1913. But according to other sites, a NASA satellite recorded surface temperatures as high as 71 °C (159 °F) in the Lut desert of Iran, supposedly the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of Earth. This region, which covers an area of about 480 kilometers, is called Gandom Beriyan (the toasted wheat).

    first, Mr. Fred from where are you?
    There are many hot places here in Asia but not the hottest place..
    If you go around Asia yourself, you’ll find out that it’s not the hottest place..
    Please stop talking nonsense

    It turns out that the place became known only because of the scorching sun and high temperatures. I do not dispute that 136 degrees Fahrenheit is davolno impressive, but I see little good in this!

    The contender for the hottest place on Earth should be Imperial Valley. California. The highest temperature ever recorded was 121 degrees in 1995. The average temperature is 110+ for 8 months of the year not counting october through which could be pretty cool. An average of 70- 90 degrees.

    This isn’t true. I was stationed in Djibouti, Africa and it got up to 140 F, and steady too during the summer. Not saying its the hottest on eart, but definately hotter than the so-called record on this site.

    I too used to live in phoenix many years, i graduated from there, and i remember it getting 110-120 degrees F easy. So take my word for it, Africa was beyond hotter than Phoenix.
