The Heat is on!!

Temperatue is the only one subject discussed these days. Its because the typical Indian summer is burning the land. It may be due to Global warming or somethingelse, the fact is the same, the Heat is on!!Its above 42 degrees celsius here in Aurangabad since last couple of days. The heat wave, sweating, burning sunlight, and everlasting loadshedding is a gift hamper we all have!!

Thinking about heat is also makes us sweating. So I found a interesting way to get cool these days. I am looking for the information about weather diversity in the world and I got interesting info. Its really cool.

Why dont you join me for that?

wettest place

Since over 90 percent of Antarctica is covered by ice, it could be considered the wettest place on earth. But the ice isn't melted so Antarctica isn't that wet. Until recently it was thought that the volcanic peak Mt. Waialeale in Hawaii was the wettest but Cherrapunji, India is much wetter.The city of Cherrapunji is 1290 meters above sea level so all that rain must come down. When it does, the rain runs off the mountains into the valley below.

coldest place

Antarctica is the coldest place on the earth. The only other places that come even close to being this chilly are a few areas in Russia. The coldest place on earth is also the loneliest. The coldest temperature ever recorded was -129 Fahrenheit (-89 Celsius). Antarctica has little moisture so it's also known as one of the driest places in the world.

driest place

There is a disagreement about the driest place on earth. Driest means little or no precipitation so a desert has to be at the top of the list, such as the Atacama Desert in Chile. However, the South Pole has also been named the driest place because cold air has little or no moisture. Atacama Desert is also the driest place on earth. Some areas of the Atacama Desert haven't had rainfall for 400 years. Normally, it rains every 100 years.

hottest place

There is a 'hot' debate about the hottest place on earth. Some people think their bedroom is the hottest place to be while others name a few hot hangouts. Weather wise, the hottest places on earth are the Dallol Depression in Ethiopia and Death Valley in California!! But another interesting information says that El-Azizia part of Libya recorded 66 degrees celsius temperature few times!!
