How about a trip to Dasht-e Lut, Iran
A Brief Summary
Just outside the small town of Yazd, in the Lut desert in central Iran, during the months of July and August, you will find the hottest temperatures anywhere on earth. These temperatures are measured at the surface of the earth, rather than the standard air temperatures reported in weather forecasts, measured at approximately 1.2m above the ground. At an egg-frying 80°c (176°f), it is safe to say that if you do choose to come and see what bread must feel like in an oven, you’ll need a hefty dose of suncream, rather a lot of water and a very, very reliable mode of transport out of there!
