And Kuwait City’s heat has consistently caused so much sweat among locals that many people barely line the streets and instead continue to live in their wealthy neighborhoods. luxury houses.

But for those who do venture outside – including thousands of people looking for work – air traffic control roads are the only salvation.

In fact, one area is so hot that the community has developed a cool shopping street to combat the problems.

Kuwait City has just over 3 million people living in the sweltering sun, making it only slightly smaller than the United States Wales – a much colder place.

Famous for their ridiculous masses oil reserves, the city not only suffers from the extreme heat, but also from a lack of rainfall every year.

This has caused a plethora of dust storms, all of which are becoming increasingly powerful, melting the city into a thick cloud of dirt.

It just deepens the heat.

Locals have claimed to have seen birds suddenly fall dead from the sky and even seahorses boiling at the water’s edge.

You may also see pigeons gathering in large groups in an attempt to stay cooler as a pack.

And earlier this year, the Kuwaiti government even issued an official order saying funerals could take place at night due to daytime temperatures.

Kuwaiti architects have even said that it is “almost as if the outdoors don’t exist” in the city, as the heat follows you inside and out.

Average temperatures are around 45 degrees Celsius, with May, June, July, August and September all making up the long, boiling summer.

And as the darkness diminishes, the temperature only drops to an astonishing 30 degrees Celsius sleep can be almost impossible.

But it’s not just the high temperatures that locals around the world have to deal with, because deep in the Siberian desert lies the coldest village in the world.

In Yakutia minus 40C is considered a warm afternoon and a staggering minus 68C is considered quite bearable.

Sitting proudly inside Russia the place is truly a thing of beauty, even if for many of us it would feel like a nightmare for just a few minutes.

Another Russian village – Oymyakon – is considered the main competition for the coldest village in the world and is home to only 500 brave people.

Bone-crunching temperatures of minus 62 degrees Celsius have shattered thermometers, but people are still happily cycling to work and heading to the fish markets.
