Just how bad is it? Bad enough for Hong Kong’s residents to devise specific paths to every possible destination, each of which is designed to follow through as many air conditioned shopping malls as possible. However, when combined with the city’s legendary humidity, this sauna-style tropical city is one of the world’s most extreme and uncomfortable, especially during its ultra-moist wet season.
As a matter of fact, it wouldn’t even break the top ten in a list of the world’s hottest points.
Hong Kong isn’t the world’s hottest city. In 1911, temperature gauges at the park recorded a daytime high of 134☏ (56.7C) – just one degree short of the world record. While not the hottest city in North America, Las Vegas is located very close to the hottest location in the entire Western Hemisphere: California’s Death Valley.
Daytime summer temperatures often reach 40☌ and occasionally even higher, with the crisp desert heat proving a problem for unprepared tourists and week-long bender participants. Situated in the middle of Nevada’s arid desert, Las Vegas experiences temperature extremes like no other US city. The megacity’s well-known air pollution traps hot air within the city center, causing daytime humidity and heat that catches many tourists off guard. Temperatures in the Thai capital routinely rise above 40C during the day, with night-time temperatures hovering at similar levels.īangkok’s notorious smog is also a problem for those with heat aversion. While Bangkok doesn’t experience the world’s most extreme summer temperatures, it is the world’s hottest city when it comes to year-round intense heat. The ultra-hot city may not boast the most ridiculous summer temperatures, but its year-round heat makes it one of the most consistently warm in the world. Jazan City is a port on Saudi Arabai’s Red Sea coast, and unlike many of the other cities we’ve featured, it’s populated by less than 2 million people. If you’re not a fan of the sun, note these ten destinations down on your ‘do-not-visit’ travel list. From tropical megacities to arid desert civilizations, we’re tracked down ten major cities that receive extreme heat on a regular basis. Still, there are places on earth where extreme heat isn’t just a one-off occurrence, but a regular event. We sprint indoors, crank the air conditioning up to patently dangerous levels, and do everything possible to ensure that the endless outdoor heat doesn’t manage to reach the living room. What could have been a great day of work outdoors turns into an all-out fight to avoid sunlight. Hot weather is the enemy of the productive.
