The world's hottest continent is Africa. Home to the Sahara Desert, Africa experiences extreme temperatures, particularly in its northern regions. Nations like Libya and Algeria have recorded some of the highest temperatures on Earth, sometimes exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) in the summer months. Beyond the deserts, Africa's diverse climates range from tropical regions with lush rainforests to arid landscapes. The continent's geographic diversity contributes to its varying weather patterns and ecosystems, making it a central focus for climate studies and discussions on global warming and its impacts on the environment and human life.
