Moreover, the magazine reported that higher temperatures are pushing desert creatures to their edge of heat tolerances.

In addition, Science Magazine reported that Sonoran's highs coincided with La Niña, a climate condition wherein cooler surface temperatures are experienced in the central Pacific Ocean and features drier conditions. Researchers are not sure whether climate change has any effect on the high temperatures on the Lut Desert and the Sonoran Desert which are both warmer than Death Valley.īut researchers noted that the hottest temperatures in the two deserts were only recorded in more recent years. Iran's Lut Desert is surrounded by mountains that trap the warm air, which makes the temperatures of the valley hotter. Researchers believe that the actual temperature of the desert could be ten degrees hotter than was previously recorded by the NASA satellite software that helped them determine land temperatures.ĪLSO READ: 2020 Possibly the Hottest Year Ever Despite Air Pollution Decline Due to COVID-19 - NOAAĬould Climate Change Have Caused Temperatures to Soar High in Lut Desert? Due to the high temperature of the area, life struggles to exist, hence it is also known as the "Plain of Emptiness" (Emptiness Plain).

A recent study, entitled " Global Patterns of Hottest, Coldest and Extreme Diurnal Variability on Earth" published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, explains how high-resolution satellite data from the past two decades can prove the two regions as hotter than the Death Valley.īetween the Lut Desert and the Sonoran Desert, the former is hotter which means that Lut Desert holds the crown for the world's hottest land surface temperature based on the satellite data from 20, The Sun reported.Īccording to the news outlet, the black rocks in Lut Desert tend to get the hottest, and heat is trapped by its mountains.
