What associations arise when you mention an area with high temperatures? This, of course, is Africa or the Middle East. But the hottest city in the world is in the United States of America. This is the city of El Paso (Texas). Meeting a banker or official wearing a T-shirt here is a common occurrence. Every visitor to the city considers it his duty to take a selfie with a thermometer.

History of El Paso

El Paso was probably founded in 1539 by the Spaniards. Before this, several Indian tribes lived on this land. These were mainly nomads Jumano and Manso. After the attack on Narvaez's expedition, several people were able to escape from the Indians. They created the first building on this land. The area was a good point for crossing to the north.

Therefore, explorer Juan de Oñate named the settlement El Paso, which means “passage” in Spanish. In 1835, the Texas War of Independence began. The city was one of the few where Indians and whites lived in peace. After annexation, the border with Mexico passed through the city. Thus, half of El Paso was named Ciudad Juarez.

At first civil war the city was controlled by the Confederate army. In 1862 it was captured by the California Volunteer Corps. After 20 years, the city experienced a huge economic boom. El Paso became an important railroad hub. The constant influx of investment has made the city attractive to settlers. In 1916, the Mexicans carried out a brutal massacre of the white population, killing more than 500 people. Memories of those events still cause tension between different ethnic groups. During the Great Depression, the city fell into disrepair. But in the 1950s, oil fields were discovered here, giving Ed Paso a new economic boost.

Modern times

El Paso has a desert climate. Since the city is located on a hill, the average air temperature even in February is 18° C. Snow may not fall here for years. The population is more than half a million inhabitants. There are many casinos and entertainment centers. During the Wild West, El Paso was famous for its large number of cowboys, robbers, and scammers.

Therefore, many establishments are stylized to resemble that era. Tourists say that the city feels the true spirit of the free West. Hotels annually welcome over 2 million holidaymakers from all over the world. The city itself is not rich in attractions and resorts. For many, it is simply a stopover, just as it was 500 years ago. This area is home to I-10, which is known as the hitchhiking road due to the large number of people traveling this way.

Due to the extreme heat, the city authorities have installed several free air-conditioned rooms in the center where anyone can relax. Cases of sunstroke among visiting tourists are common. However, the city's population is constantly growing. There are several large factories, 2 call centers, and an oil depot. The border with Mexico is busy at any time of the day. Crime is above the state average. From almost any elevation there is a panoramic view of the entire city. The white population is less than 10%. El Paso shares a metropolitan area with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Therefore here a large number of illegal immigrants. Mexican cuisine is very common. Even the English-speaking population always has Tabasco in their refrigerators.

Other hottest cities in the world

The degree of heat depends not only on the air temperature, but also on its humidity. Therefore, in Bangkok, even at relatively low temperatures, it is deadly hot due to the air humidity of 90%. The local population wears peculiar orange dresses over their naked bodies. On the Australian mainland, the hottest city is Oodnadatta. And in India - El Azizia. It will be extremely difficult for a person who comes from places with a normal climate to stay in all these cities. Doctors recommend that tourists refrain from long walks immediately upon arrival.

In most cases, cities with high temperatures are located in underdeveloped countries, where modern methods cooling is lacking in many buildings. If you find yourself in such an area, try to follow the example of the locals. One of the hottest countries in Asia is Kuwait. Local Arabs wear tawbah. Purchase these clothes upon arrival. It may be unusual and quite exotic, but you definitely won’t faint on the street. Residents of the Methraba desert drink hot tea during the hot season. It may seem strange, but it helps. Due to the hot drink, body temperature rises, which leads to active sweating. This cools the body.
