Certain cities routinely have an average high temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Often, depending on the time of year, these are in places like Kuwait, in the Middle East. Currently, the cities with the highest temperatures are clustered in Pakistan and India, its neighbor to the southeast.
During the early sprint and well into summer, most of these cities have temperatures well in excess of 110 degrees on many days.
To create this list, we are indebted to El Dorado Weather, which keeps track of the places in the world each day that have the hottest and coldest temperatures. It takes data from the World Weather Information Service, which, in turn, is part of the World Meteorology Organization.
The numbers are reported in Celsius but here have been converted to Fahrenheit. Locations are from Google Maps.
