It's better not to live here: cities that can kill you named

In the context of global warming on the planet, extreme weather phenomena are being recorded more and more frequently. The publication Interesting Engineering published a list of cities and regions where temperatures reach life-threatening values.

Death Valley, USA The hottest place in North America. In 2020, the temperature reached +54.4°C. Each year, new temperature records are being set here due to droughts and constant sun. Jacobabad, Pakistan A city where heat and humidity become deadly dangerous. In 2021, temperatures of +52°C were recorded. The critical temperature makes staying here extremely risky. Water problems and power outages exacerbate the situation. Phoenix, USA Urban heat intensifies every year. In 2021, it was +48.3°C here. Asphalt, concrete, and water shortages create an "urban oven" effect. Turbat, Pakistan In 2017, the temperature reached +53.7°C - a record for all of Pakistan. The sparsely populated and poor region is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Ahvaz, Iran An industrial city where a temperature of +53.7°C was recorded in 2017. Air pollution, dust storms, and lack of cooling make life here extremely difficult. Delhi, India In 2022, India's capital set a record of +49°C. Rapid urbanization and deforestation have turned the city into a heat trap. Kuwait, Kuwait In 2016, the temperature reached +54°C - one of the highest readings in the world. Dallol, Ethiopia The hottest place on Earth by average annual temperature - about +34.6°C. Here it's above +30°C almost year-round, making the region extremely hot and barely habitable.
