We are all used to stereotypes how Russia is an eternal kingdom-cold, but here’s the twist, it’s one of the hottest Slavic countries together with some traditionally hot (tempered) South Slavs. The highest officially recorded temperature in the world is 56.7 °C (134.1 °F), which occurred on 10 July 1913 in Furnace Creek, California, USA. Other continents also have some really hot places: 55.0 °C in Africa (Tunisia), 53–54 °C in Asia (Israel, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan; some of the values are disputed), 50.7 °C in Oceania (Australia), and 48.9 °C in South America (Argentina) reports Jakub Marian.
