Top 10 Hottest Asian Countries

Kinda shocked by the Persian Gulf/Arabian Peninsula countries that missed out and by Maldives topping the list. Would have thought open sea breezes would keep Maldives pretty moderated and places like Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia would be much hotter. Having been stuck on an open air boat for several nights somewhere on the Mekong in Laos, I know inland regions of Indochina can get pretty cold (it was about 12 degrees, as I recall), so I imagine countries like Laos and Thailand lose points due to their interiors, despite the likes of Bangkok being pretty consistently unpleasantly hot.

Surprised my country (Malaysia) isn't on here!

For those confused, it's average temperature. Countries near the Equator receive way more solar energy than countries in the Middle East that are near the Tropics. The Tropics are basically where the deserts are, while the Equator is where rainforests are.

While deserts reach higher highs during the day, they also reach lower lows during the night, since there is very little moisture. Water can absorb lots of heat without its temperature increasing dramatically, while air warms up with very little energy. At night, air also cools very fast while water cools very slowly, releasing lots of heat in the process. Where moisture is present, Sun energy is therefore basically spread over the day/seasons.

If you wanna know why rainforests and deserts are where they are, it's basically because wind convection cells make it rain over the Equator, while the Tropics get the dry air that's left behind.

Good one, although there's too much time; you can just type all Asian countries in that time.

not me typing every asian country...

Only missed Bahrain

How is Brunei an acceptable answer, but Malaysia isn't! Brunei is literally inside of Malaysia!

Why is the under the Cliche tag?

level 60!
