Myanmar Cities Dominate Global List of Hottest Locations

Nine cities from Myanmar have ranked among the world’s 15 hottest cities, according to an April 5 afternoon report by Eldorado Weather.

The Myanmar cities included in the list are Chauk, Monywa, Magway, Shwebo, Minbu, Mandalay, Sagaing, Taungoo, and Meiktila.

Among them, Chauk ranked 2nd globally, while Monywa placed 4th. Magway, Shwebo, Minbu, Mandalay, and Sagaing occupied positions 5 through 9. Taungoo and Meiktila ranked 14th and 15th respectively.

The top 15 list consists of nine cities from Myanmar, five from Thailand, and one from Oman.

Myanmar cities have consistently appeared at the top of the global heat rankings since early April. As temperatures continue to rise across the country, heat-related deaths have been reported, and temporary cooling shelters have been opened in some of the hardest-hit areas.
