Need to travel to somewhere hot? If the winter cold spell is getting you down, a quick trip to one of these tropical hot-spots could be just what’s needed. However, you’d better be comfortable with an air conditioner – with highs of almost 40 degrees Celsius, a holiday in one of these destinations could get painful quickly.
Before you step off the plane into any of these three cities, make absolutely sure your hotel’s got a good air conditioning service:
1. Bangkok, Thailand 
The Thai capital may not be the hottest place on earth, but it does have the highest average annual temperature. With highs well into the high 30s coupled with the occasional 40 degree day, this tropical megalopolis doesn’t quite touch deadly heat, but it certainly does verge on uncomfortable.
2. Jizan, Saudi Arabia
Jizan isn’t the hottest place on earth (an honour that goes to California’s Death Valley) but it is one of the most consistently hot. This small city in western Saudi Arabia is closer to tropical than desert steppe, although it does experience the occasional dry month.
3. Wyndham, Australia
Wyndham certainly isn’t the place to go for relaxing summer temperatures. Despite being situated in tropical Western Australia, the small town rarely experiences temperatures below 30 degrees. Highs touch on 40 quite regularly, making Wyndham a pretty nasty place for cool weather fans.
