You have to heat!

We need to see the heat that we have these days with thermometers marking annual maximum, although for a long walk to mark some distance from the highest temperature of the earth.

It would be very difficult to define what is the hottest place on Earth, bypassing the center of this clear. However, there are several candidates such as Death Valley in the United States whose average temperature in summer does not drop from the 38 degrees, or the region Dallol in Ethiopia with a constant temperature throughout the year averages 34 degree centigrade. However, there is a very special place for a day that literally turned into hell, reaching the highest temperature ever recorded. The incident took place in the desert in El Azizia, Libya, a Sept. 13, 1922 and was recorded by a meteorological station outposts maintained by European explorers in the region. The figures were such that marked a 57.8 º C inside the station and an estimated 66 º C in the sun. Because the place where the measurement was near a large water fountain, which dampens the heat, it is believed that the temperature in the desert could exceed 70 degrees.

The thermometer Euribor also have very near maximum, this time thanks to the anticyclone Trichet. Fortunately, oil, which has dropped 15% from peaks, gave us the good news of the day with another drop more than we undoubtedly a bit of fresh air.

Unlike the hottest place the coldest place on the planet has an unsurpassed champion: Antarctica. However, the lowest temperature recorded so far occurred in a Vostok Station on July 31 1983 when measuring instruments came to mark some 89.6 degrees below zero. The cold was so heartbreaking that the crew of the station ironically due to close in on the big refrigerators industrial complex, as the metal walls and thermal insulation of these minimize the cold outside. Upon leaving one of the researchers found with surprise that several drums of antifreeze fluid were solidified.

What is for me a real hell is your Internet connection so that I leave with you a quick summary of the press:
