Is World Becoming Hottest These Days? | Eye Of Fire - Gulf Of Mexico |

Record Breaking Temperature:

About 500 sudden deaths have been recorded in Canada since Friday June 25, as temperatures raised to nearly 50C (122F). In the United States, the ongoing heatwave has hooked highways and melted power lines, houses and even, roads. Why these sudden deaths.?? Were they occurred due to climatic changes .?? Lets discuss in detail further.

June was an exceptionally hot month for several countries in the northern hemisphere.  In the United States, the ongoing heatwave has buckled highways and melted power lines. A so-called “heat dome”, where high pressure traps the heat, is being blamed for the excessively high temperatures. Many cities across the world, including Nuwaiseeb in Kuwait, Vancouver in Canada, Portland in US, Pakistan's Jacobabad, Delhi, Iran's Omidiyeh and several others in the Middle East experienced high temperatures during this June.

On June 29, Lytton, a small town about 200km from Vancouver, hit 49.6C (121F), setting a national record for the highest temperature ever recorded across Canada. Schools, universities and vaccination centres were closed across British Columbia. On July 1, Delhi reeled under a heatwave for a third day on the trot and recorded a maximum temperature of 43.1 degrees Celsius on Thursday, the highest in July since 2012. Mercury levels in Jacobabad, located in the Sindh province of Pakistan soared to a life-threatening 52 degrees Celsius (126 F) on July 1. Just south of the border in the US state of Oregon, the city of Portland hit an all-time high of 46.6C (116F), breaking the previous high of 41.6C (107F), first set in 1965.

The Kuwaiti city recorded the highest temperature in the world so far this year on June 22, at 53.2C (127.7F). On July 1, In neighbouring Iraq, temperatures reached 51.6C (124.8F), with Omidiyeh, Iran, not far behind with a maximum temperature of 51C (123.8F) recorded so far.

Several other countries in the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Saudi Arabia, recorded temperatures higher than 50C (112F) in June. 

Ever hot temperature recorded: 

At least 23 countries have recorded maximum temperatures of 50C (122F) or above. Currently, the highest officially registered temperature is 56.7C (134F), recorded in California’s Death Valley back in 1913. The hottest known temperature in Africa is 55C (131F) recorded in Kebili, Tunisia in 1931. Iran holds Asia’s hottest official temperature of 54C (129F) which it recorded in 2017. In 2020, Seymour Island in Antarctica recorded a maximum temperature of 20.7C (69.3F).

According to the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization (WMO), temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula have risen by almost 3C (5.4F) over the past 50 years. 

Top Hottest places in the world :

Death Valley, California : 

The national park with a menacing name is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world’s hottest recorded temperature, having reached a scorching 134° F in July of 1913. Death Valley is a desert valley in Eastern California, in the northern Mojave Desert, bordering the Great Basin Desert. During summer, it is one of the hottest places on Earth, along with deserts in the Middle East and the Sahara. Death Valley has a subtropical, hot desert climate, with long, extremely hot summers; short, mild winters; and little rainfall. 

The depth and shape of Death Valley strongly influence its climate. The valley is a long, narrow basin that descends below sea level and is walled by high, steep mountain ranges. The clear, dry air and sparse plant cover allow sunlight to heat the desert surface. Summer nights provide little relief: overnight lows may dip just into the 82 to 98 °F (28 to 37 °C) range. The hottest air temperature ever recorded in Death Valley was 134 °F (56.7 °C), on July 10, 1913, at Greenland Ranch (now Furnace Creek),[6] which is the highest atmospheric temperature ever recorded on earth. The highest surface temperature ever recorded in Death Valley was 201.0 °F (93.9 °C), on July 15, 1972, at Furnace Creek, which is the highest ground surface temperature ever recorded on earth, as well as the only recorded surface temperature of above 200 °F (93.3 °C).

El-Azizia, Libya :

El Azizia, is a small town and it was the capital of the Jafara district in north-western Libya, 41 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of the capital Tripoli. From 1918 to 1922 it was the capital of the Tripolitanian Republic, the first formal republic in the Arab world. This place claims the title of hottest place on earth – in 1922 the temperature was recorded of 58 degrees in El Azizia has been overturned by the World Meteorological Organization after an in-depth investigation by a team of meteorologists.

Dallol, Ethiopia:

Dallol, Ethiopia is the hottest place on Earth based on year-round averages, which is to say that if you average the temperature of every place on Earth for one year, Dallol's average will be the highest. There are places in the world that are hotter at given moments but Dallol is the hottest on average. Dallol, Ethiopia, records the average daily temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit, making it the hottest place in the world. Dallol has an average low temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than many places on Earth ever get. Dallol currently holds the official record for record high average temperature for an inhabited location on Earth, and an average annual temperature of 35°C (95°F) was recorded between 1960 and 1966.

Wadi Halfa, Sudan :

Wadi Halfa Known for violent dust storms called a haboob, Wadi Halfa has a hot desert climate typical of the Nubian Desert. Wadi Halfa receives each year the highest mean amount of bright sunshine, with an extreme value of 4,300 h which is equal to 97–98 % of possible sunshine.[16] In addition to this, the town receives a mean annual amount of rainfall of 0.5 mm and many years usually pass without any rainfall falling on the ground.

Wadi Halfa experiences long, hot summers and short, warm winters. The annual mean temperature is about 27 °C. From May to September, inclusively, the averages highs exceed 40 °C.

Eye of fire - Gulf of Mexico :

A fire broke out in the Gulf of Mexico early on Friday accompanied with bright orange flames onto the water after a gas leak in an undersea pipeline of state-owned oil company Petroleos Mexicanos or Pemex, reports have said. The flames resembled molten lava with “eye of fire” on several social media platforms. Several Mexican journalists and publications shared videos on Twitter of the ocean as boats sprayed streams of water on it. Pemex said no injuries were reported in the incident. The gas leak that occurred around 5:15am. The flames were fully put off by 10:30am local time, Reuters reported. Pemex further highlighted it has also shut the 12-inch-diameter pipeline’s valves. The company reportedly said that it used boats to pump water over the flames, although its workers said that nitrogen was also used to put off the flame, Reuters added, citing an incident report. The flagship project ‘Ku Maloob Zaap’ is Pemex’s biggest crude oil producer, with over 40 per cent of the firm’s nearly 1.7 million barrels of daily output coming from it.
