What is the warmest place on the planet?

Lut desert

We live in a world where there are very diverse climates: temperate, warm ... and cold, and also in each region microclimates can occur, registering temperatures that are not what we would expect taking into account the geographical location. Thus, we can go to Antarctica, where we would be incredibly cold, or we could go to warmest place on the planet.

Which? The valley of death? Of course, it is one of the hottest spots, but no, it is not the most.

The place you should not go if your body does not tolerate heat very well according to the NASA is he Lut desert, in Iran. In this region the temperature easily rises to 50 degrees Celsius, 50 degrees! If in the south of Andalusia or in Murcia 40-45ºC can be registered, can you imagine what would be 5 degrees more? It would be something like if someone had put the heating in a place where it is already hot; in short, crazy.

But the most incredible of all is that the highest temperature ever recorded was not 50 degrees, but the 70,7ºC. With so much heat, life is practically non-existent. It would not take humans more than a few minutes to suffer organic failure, and animals and plants simply cannot survive in such an extreme environment.

You cannot be there, and less in summer, since although the humidity is practically non-existent, the stones that exist, being black, absorb a lot of heat, so they can quickly reach 70º. The values ​​that are reached are too dangerous to be tolerated, so if you want to go, even in the middle of winter, be sure to bring water and sunscreen to avoid problems, since otherwise you could end up suffering from heat stroke .
