I posted about this before but I found a new published statistic for world hottest cities, the temperatures were recorded during mid of July 2012 and guess who came as number one? Kuwait City with 51 degrees Celsius recorded temperature! In second place came Baghdad followed by Riyadh. The statistic did not included abandoned places or remote areas such as deserts.
Kuwait indeed is a very hot place in the summer, a 5-minutes walk in the noon can make you sweat like crazy.

I heard some places in Saudi desert it may reach up to 70 degrees
What is the highest temperature ever recorded?
In 1922 the temperature reached 136° Fahrenheit (58° C) in Libya.
Death Valley in California holds the record for the highest temperature in the U.S. at 134° in 1913.

K U W A I T :
The highest ever temperature recorded in Kuwait was 53.5 °C (128.3 °F) at Kuwait International Airport on August 3, 2011. Mitribah temperatures until mid 2010 were affected by overexposure conditions and the station was later fixed. The lowest official temperature recorded was −6.1 °C (21.0 °F) at Kuwait City in January 1964.

Mashallah very informative Marron Glace, never knew it reaches this high in Death Valley but yes I guess this is where the name came from.
ee walla 7imdellah A/C’s are everywhere, I was telling friends today at work, we shouldn’t complain about Ramadan and heat because Office has A/C,, car has A/C and home has one as well, in other countries having A/C building is considered a special feature and is mentioned in contracts
Thanks bro you know little research you can come with a big amount of info’s
E wallah alf al7amdullah e7na bne3ma the only time you feel the heat once
you got in and out from / to your car / home / office / mall etc.
We must honor the inventor of the AC as we are the most people in use of
this Invention
Allah yer7amna bra7metah Amen
اللهم اعتقنا من النار
آميـــن
I would like to see the temperature difference between here and Las Vegas Nevada. Cause When I traveled this pas June I swear I thought I was in Kuwait when I’ve arrived over there.
Yes I agree Vegas was really hot the first time I visited it, its interesting how the temperature decreased as we approached L.A
TOTALLY!!! If you go road tripping from LA – Vegas and back you’d definitely see a change in temperature. You can even see more difference in temp once you hit up to Redwoods in California.
