We’re going to look at the hottest countries in the world. As you might imagine, Africa features heavily but further down, there’s also a look at what is the hottest country in each continent according to their estimated average yearly temperature.
With climate change and 60 years having passed since the start of the study, the actual temperature figures are likely to be slightly higher now but the overall picture should remain more or less the same, although it’s true that some parts of the world have warmed up quicker than others.

Tuvalu, Oceania
The top five is completed by Tuvalu, another island nation in the Pacific. With a land area of just 26km², it ranks as the fourth smallest country in the world behind the Vatican, Monaco and Nauru.
In terms of the heat, Tuvalu experiences a similar climate to that of Kiribati with temperatures fluctuating between 27 and 31°C most days. Estimated Average Yearly Temperature in Tuvalu: 28°C

Djibouti, Africa
Back to Africa, the hottest continent in the world, for our joint number four. That’s the small East African nation of Djibouti where average temperatures are around 28°C.Djibouti City ranks as the third hottest city in the world after nearby Bosaso and Assab, the only others to be hotter. Much of Djibouti experiences a hot desert climate with precious little variation throughout the year. However there are small mountain regions with towns that experience a much cooler climate such as Airolaf where the overall daily mean temperatures are around 19°C.Estimated Average Yearly Temperature in Djibouti: 28°C

3. Kiribati, Oceania
The hottest country in Oceania is Kiribati, which is only narrowly behind the two West African nations according to this data. Located in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, Kiribati is an island nation which straddles the equator with a number of tiny atolls spread over quite a large area.Most of Kiribati’s residents live on the island of Tarawa which has a climate typical of places on or close to the equator. Average highs are consistently around 31°C from January to December with night-time lows hovering just over 25°C.Estimated Average Yearly Temperature in Kiribati: 28.2°C

Mali, Africa
Mali lies directly to the north of Burkina Faso but is a much larger country. It is also landlocked, denying it any cooler ocean breezes but unlike Burkina Faso it also has a large Saharan region with those same dry Saharan winds blowing across the country.
Estimated Average Yearly Temperature in Mali: 28.25°C

Burkina Faso
The joint hottest country in the world according to the UEA’s research is Burkina Faso, which recorded an average temperature of 28.25°C. The main respite comes in the form of the rainy season during the middle of the year but average highs are above 30°C in all twelve months in the capital Ouagadougou and even at night, it’s extremely rare to see temperatures below the high teens or early 20’s.Estimated Average Yearly Temperature in Burkina Faso: 28.25°
