September 13,1922 the hottest air temperature ever recorded occurred in Al-Aziziyah, Libya: 57.8°C/ 136 degrees Farenheit. We could leave it at that. But we will not allow one lone nation to claim the title of the hottest location without a competition. Let the interview segment begin. The Iranian contenders argue that other sites find that a NASA satellite recorded surface temperatures as high as 71 °C (159 °F) in the Lut desert of Iran, making it the hottest temperature ever recorded on the surface of Earth. Dollal,Ethiopia is home to the Denakil Depression of Africa dipping to a depth of 116m below sea level with a resulting sweltering temperature. Dallol is home to the highest average air temperature in the world and the salt plain to the Dallol volcano, the lowest on earth. Dallol, Ethiopia, could also arguably be the warmest place on earth with an average yearly ambient surface air temperature of 307.55 kelvin (34.4°C = 93.92°F). We have a strong race heating up. Yes, I said it.
Enter team Libya. The desert plateau of Dasht-e Lut,Libya 's scorching surface temperature reportedly broke the 70 degrees centigrade barrier. A widespread area of the central Lut is infamous for killing every single creature including bacteria. I believe we have a winner for the talent portion of this competition. It's strongest rival for the world's driest spot is Chile's Atacama Desert. Team USA now makes a strong showing at Death Valley, California with the second-highest air temperature on record, reaching 56.7°C. Other records list the temperature higher in this driest place in the United States with a listing up to 134 Fahreheit (57.8 Celsius) on July 10, 1913. Our unbiased distinguished panel takes these conflicting reports into consideration as they await the long anticipated swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
And still, the very hottest place has not been established. I hope a scholarship accompanies this title. The World Meteorological Organization reported Bangkok, Thailand as the absolute hottest place on the planet including its infamous smog,humidity and high temps. Tunisia also has strong showings in the how-high-can-we-go temperature category. Northern Africa's vast Sahara is the world's largest hot desert stretching from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The Sahara's hottest temp was 136 degrees farenheit with an average temperature reading of 90 degrees and a scattering of 10 degrees in parts of the desert.
Libya,Iran,Death Valley,Africa, The Sahara Desert and the last remaining finalist returning after a brief retirement....Albany,Georgia. This challenger distributes the following current monthly chart of weather to the judges:
102,99,102,98,97,103,97,98,98,100,100,102,104,101,104,96,98,96,97,98,100,98,96,95,95,100,92. Those were the actual temperature readings in Albany for June 1-27,2011.
BAM!!! WE have a WINNER!!!!!!! Cue the music. There she is.... Hit that runway Albany! You are hot,hot,hot !! You have no volcanoes or camels. This isn't a rainforest. There are no tropical monkeys. There are no ancient ruins being examined by archaeologists and Indiana Jones. You just have sizzling pavement and ongoing record-breaking heat.....and a crown and a sash and a scepter and a scholarship. What do you mean, there's no scholarship???????!!! WHAM!! POW!! CRASH !! BONK!! KAPOW!! BAM!! Look out for the crown !! Wow. That is going to leave a mark. It is never wise to anger a pageant contestant, especially in this heat...
