I am from Basra. The weather in summer is harsh, but the sun in Basra is less intense than the sun in Baghdad, because Basra has a percentage of humidity that limits the sun's rays.

I think it would be interesting to see the coldest cities next, this video was very fun to watch

Thanks!

Wow a lot of research went into this. Thanks Paul :)

I live in Wellington, New Zealand which can be characterised by its lack of heat. The average high in the hottest month (February) is only 20.4°C and the record high is only 30.3°C. It is also the worlds windiest city so it often feels much cooler than the averages suggest!

I am Singaporean. I can't wait to get out of here because the weather has been getting consistently hotter in such a humid climate. For example, 2021 was the first year ever that we no longer experience our "winter" (monsoon) season in Dec-Jan. It was all hot and we were wondering where did all the rain go? It was used to be 2-3 months of the year that we experience out hottest weather. Now, it feels more like 8-9 months of the year that we experience the hottest weather of the year! Kinda funny how you mention that people can come to Singapore if they hate winter. Well, if you stay in Singapore for at least several months, you'll hate summer!

I live in Johor Bahru, the southernmost city of Malaysia, just 10 km from Singapore. Hence, we also experience a similar climate. In fact, every place in Malaysia endures a consistent hot temperature all year round, except the highlands.

I live in Jeddah, which is right next to Mecca but on the sea, making it so much more humid than Mecca. Our summers, just like Mecca, are extremely long and are always 35+ celcius... but admittedly it's not as hot as gulf cities like basra, Kuwait, Baghdad, or even Riyadh.. However our winters are usually pleasant and are usually between 15 to 25 Celsius..

In addition to doing a video on coldest cities like I saw suggested in the comments, it would also be interesting to see things like driest and wettest. I've always wondered whether British people are exaggerating about having poor weather all the time or if they really do have a remarkable number of rainy days.

Thanks Paul, I really appreciate your thorough, well researched content!

I have been to Mecca (Makkah) and it is so hot there. Even at December (their winter), it is still over 30C. I agree about Seville and Athens because I did go there in the summer but Cordoba in Spain is very hot too. I'll say Luxor in Egypt was very hot. Singapore, KL and Bangkok were hot and humid all year round. I've experienced hot temperatures in Pakistan, India, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Spain and Italy. I am aware that the video is discussing cities with over a million in population. But here in the UK, we have been currently in a heatwave having finally broke the 40C mark for the first time ever. Today it is 33C in the area I live right now - definitely been the hottest year on record
@DenzelPF31
Even in Germany we can get temperatures above 40°C by now 🥵 But at least it's cooling down again during night usually. We call nights with a temperature of more than 20°C "tropical" as it used to be very uncommon until some years ago. This summer alone, though, we got 5-10 of those nights 🥵
@christopherantonio3612
My family is from Chihuahua, Mexico. It is so dry and hot there. When I hop out of the shower, my skin is already dry. The winters in that area can be freezing also. It's weird what you get in inland deserts.
@omrivol
Great video!

I live in Barranquilla, Colombia. It is close in latitude and temperature to Panama City, with highest record temperature of 39.8 °C and lowest of 18.0 °C. Average in the hottest month is 29.1 °C, which doesn't sound impressive until we take into account that average humidity is close to 80% year round, with lowest being 70% in January. Over here it is normal to get some days with 90%+ humidity and 34°C, which leaves you sweating like a pig and no relief as the sweat doesn't dry up. But the city is near the coast so the sensations are not as bad as other cities you described in the video.

Amazing concept. Thank you 👍
@colorado13
I'm quite surprised with the absence of some major Brazilian cities, such as Cuiabá, Belém and Manaus. But I guess it's because it does cool down a bit on rainy days and nights. And Iraq's temperatures are insane!
@TMD3453
Great! Was wondering about this. Good summary and I agree. Love your work. Another interesting place temperature wise is Harbin, China, known for its ice festival. Cheers
@benvanzon3234
Very interesting video! Currently where I live in the Netherlands it's around 33 degrees and we're in the middle of a heatwave. The highest temperature set here was on the 25th of July 2019 with 40.2 degrees Celsius On average we have a temperature of 10.1 degrees year round and in the hottest month the average maximum is 23.6
