The Hottest Spot on the Planet: 73 Degrees Recorded in Iran
Independent news aggregator, Kodoom.com: For the first time ever, ground field temperature measurements have recorded a temperature of 73 °C (degrees Celsius) or 163 °F (Fahrenheit) near Nahbandan by Iran's Kavir Lut desert in Southern Khorasan province, according to the local Cultural Heritage office.
All the previous measurements of high temperatures in the area were conducted via satellites so the current ground measurements confirm the area to be the hottest spot in the world.
According to a recent article by Alan Buis of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, climate models predict that wet-bulb temperatures in certain world regions such as Saudi Arabia and southern Iran, are likely to soon exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius), which is the upper limit for humans to live.
