What's the places in the world
0:01
Okay, so I don't know the answer to this, but making predictions, I'm assuming it'll be somewhere in the Sahara Desert
0:06
and I think that the Australian Outback will also feature quite high on the list
0:11
But for now, we're at 48 degrees Celsius in Athens, Greece, which is crazy
0:15
And then next to the similar temperature, it's Bilmer in Niger, which looks like it's a desert, 48 degrees
0:21
Still 48 degrees, Sicily, Italy. I did not realise Sicily was that warm
0:25
And then Argentina, I'm assuming we're pretty nearly the equator here. This was just last year. This was in Turkey, 49 degrees recorded. That's crazy. I think hottest ever in the UK was 42 degrees and that was this year
0:38
Which is kind of mental when you look at like these areas like Sudan and Afghanistan being not that far away from the UK
0:44
Oh my God, we've surpassed 50 degrees in Dunbrody in South Africa
0:49
50.1, Turkmenistan. Okay, makes sense, make sense. But we haven't had anywhere in the Saharia. So that's got to be top of the list
0:55
I don't know what it would be though. Would it be maybe 80 degrees
0:59
Is that like ridiculous? Okay, Australia's popped up for the first time And that looks like somewhere in the outback
1:04
Western Sahara's popped up as well Just after it, 50.7. And then we in Oman I wonder if maybe somewhere in Saudi Arabia might appear on the list India 51 degrees and that was 2016 Egypt that makes sense Aswan That was in 1918 though
1:20
that that was recorded. So we have a huge range over the last 100 years. Algeria, Morocco
1:25
all places in northern Africa, not too far from the Sahara. Mexico, in Mexico, 52 degrees. That's
1:31
crazy. There's Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I said Saudi Arabia. Anywhere else might pop up. United Arab
1:36
Emirates, maybe. Maybe somewhere like not too. Far from Dubai, Abhi-Dabbi. Turpats, Pakistan. That looks cool. Look at that big moat thing
1:43
Then we've got Basra in Iraq. 53 degrees. Oh, hang on, hang on. I've suddenly thought
1:48
Wasn't the Death Valley in the United States? Wasn't that meant to be one of the hottest places on earth
1:52
It suddenly just popped into my head. So we're on Kuwait. We're on Israel. I did think Israel
1:57
54 degrees. Tunisia. So all very similar areas of the world at the moment. There it is. Death Valley, California
2:04
56 degrees. Is that it? Is that the hottest ever recorded temperature in the world? It is? That's crazy that that's the only appearance of the United States on this entire list
2:13
That was July 1913. Why does it get so hot in that one specific area of the United States
2:18
That's absolutely mad. Well, there you go. Now we know the hottest place on earth. Remember to check out daily featured data at the top of the description
