This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
Egypt is the eighth most water stressed country in the world. Egypt receives between 20 mm (0.79 in) and 200 mm (7.87 in) of annual average precipitation along the narrow Mediterranean coast , but south from Cairo, the average drops to nearly 0 millimetres (0.00 inches) in the central and the southern part of the country.
Israel on the world map. Israel lies to the north of the equator around 31°30' north latitude and 34°45' east longitude. [1] It measures 424 km (263 mi) from north to south [dubious – discuss] and, at its widest point 114 km (71 mi), from east to west. [1] At its narrowest point, however, this is reduced to just 15 km (9 mi).
Middle East map of Köppen climate classification. The Middle East (term originally coined in English [see § Terminology ][ note 1 ]) is a geopolitical region encompassing the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq. The term came into widespread usage as a replacement of the term Near East (as opposed to the Far East ...
On 13 December 2013, 40–70 cm (16–28 in) of snow fell in Jerusalem and 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in the Kefar Etzion area. Warmer parts of Israel received heavy rains, causing floods. Even though it was the Sabbath, the railway into Jerusalem ran for people stranded by blocked roads. [citation needed] Roads were closed in Israel by deep snow and ...
The Köppen climate classification is one of the most widely used climate classification systems. It was first published by German-Russian climatologist Wladimir Köppen (1846–1940) in 1884, [ 1 ][ 2 ] with several later modifications by Köppen, notably in 1918 and 1936. [ 3 ][ 4 ] Later, German climatologist Rudolf Geiger (1894–1981 ...
Satellite measurements of the surface temperature of Antarctica, taken between 1982 and 2013, found a coldest temperature of −93.2 °C (−135.8 °F) on 10 August 2010, at Although this is not comparable to an air temperature, it is believed that the air temperature at this location would have been lower than the official record lowest air ...
Mid-range scenarios are currently considered more likely. [1][2][3] Climate change in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) refers to changes in the climate of the MENA region and the subsequent response, adaption and mitigation strategies of countries in the region. In 2018, the MENA region emitted 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide and ...
