How about we make a list of hottest cities in terms of level of humidity:
Savannah: Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela??
Desert: Mecca, Saudi Arabia??; Timbuktu, Mali??
Tropical wet and dry: Bangkok, Thailand??
What about tropical rainforest climate? I'm sure there are some places in Papua New Guinea or Indonesia, and similar areas that are quite hot. Doesn't have to be cities. I'm interested in anywhere with a weather station, really.
Bangkok would probably be the hottest large city that is not arid or semi arid. It gets hotter than tropical rainforest climates because there is a build up of heat before the rainy season which Af climates like parts of Congo and Indonesia don't have since they are wet all year.
There's a place called N'Dusta in the middle of the Sahara desert. Average highs in the hottest month reach a scorching 123°F, and the record high is 142°F. Strangely, this mysterious place's record high has not been taken seriously by meteorological experts. They believe that it fake and made up, despite that it was in the shade and the temperature was recorded by a reliable, experienced observer. The annual mean temperature is 94°F, on par with Dallol. And this is an actual inhabited place of 9,674 people. The elevation is -878' below sea level, in the Berber depression. Strangely, this depression is sometimes covered with a cloud of dust, and has not been detected by satellites. This thriving community is one of the most prosperous little towns in the world. I am first to leak this information. I'll be on the run like Edward Snowden. The residents of N'Dusta will be very mad.
There are many hot tropical cities and very hot the desert, but no one has the combination of Muscat.
I've been in this city and it is too hot even for me.
Perhaps only Jeddah is close.
I've heard Bangkok, but I don't know if that's it since it's so large. You'd think a smaller city or town would be hotter year-round. I'm wondering if it's somewhere in Indonesia since some of their islands are right on the equator. What (inhabited) place has the highest yearly average. (Please use Celsius if possible)
I've always found Singapore to be downright pleasant compared to Jakarta Indonesia where only two seasons exist, dry and wet with year round smog. No relief from the stifling humidity in either season.
For cities over 1 million, Jakarta, Indonesia and Manaus, Brazil are right up there for relentless heat and humidity.
