[13] Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth could still be at Death Valley, but is instead 54.0 °C (129.2 °F) recorded on 30 ...
Jordan is mostly desert. Climate change has a broad range of impacts in Jordan, including the already scarce water resources.

[9] Csc = Cold-summer Mediterranean climate; coldest month averaging above 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (26.6 °F)) and 1–3 months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). At ...
The sunniest month in the world is December in Eastern Antarctica, with almost 23 hours of bright sun daily. [ 7 ] Conversely, higher latitudes (above 50° north/south) lying in stormy westerlies have much cloudier and more unstable and rainy weather, and often have the lowest values of sunshine duration annually.
This weather effect occurs from once to several times a year, mostly in summer, but sometimes in winter. [1] The resulting wind typically creates large sandstorms that impact Iraq, most sand having been picked up from Jordan and Syria.
