How They Live In The Hottest Place On Earth Without
Electric AC?
This desert in North America has become the hottest
place on earth, its a new temperature record that has
recently been broken, it measured a whopping 80.8%
Celsius, that's 177.4 Fahrenheit in 2023!
It was recorded by two satellites that showed the
hottest land surface area was in The Sonoaran desert,
Mexico beating the record recorded of 70.7c from the
Lut desert in Iran, known as one of the remotest and
inhospitable places on earth.
What is shocking about the new record is that the
Sonaran desert, isn’t so remote, it borders the united
states, and has made headlines for migrants crossing
the desert to reach Mexico's northern border.
The Sonoaran desert is also a popular tourist
destination with idealic beaches along its coasts.
Unlike the desolate and inhospitable Lut desert, the
Sonoran desert is one of the most bio-diverse deserts
of earth, its mountains and canyons provide rivers and
water source for 2000 native plant species and 350
species of birds call this place home amongst many
other migrating species.
In the last decades more and more people have been
moving to the Sonoran desert, particularly in
southwestern united states which is seeing some of the
fastest population growth rates.
Infrastructure such as concrete buildings & paved roads
are increasing surface temperatures therefore using air
conditioning systems have become a necessity.
However its crazy to think that people have been living
in this very hot region for thousands of years quite
comfortably without electric powered AC. Even today
only 16% percent of Mexicans have air conditioning
units in stark contrast to its neighbor The USA where
94% households have AC.
This is because of an ingenious building techniques
that we are going to explore in this video, we are
going to visit a home in the Sonoran desert that stays
really cool despite the record breaking temperature and
we are going to take some temperature tests to see how
effective it really is and you’ll be amazed by the
results...!

thanks eaamon, I noted several similar remarks in
comments section, and yet what I've experience living in
the NW, is the older buildings with high ceilings do
keep the heat out.

it is still used in many ways.
most roofs are now designed with venting at the very top and open under the lower roof
over hang areas by soffit vents.
here in TN I have two powered fans vents to boost and help lower AC costs.
they both have highly efficient new motors I installed myself.
you comment reminded me of the school rooms I had as a kid before AC.
the teacher would open the high part of the windows and the lowest part.
good ventilation but still hot.
I think the ceilings were about 15 feet. they used a very long pole to reach
the window lock and catch to pull those windows down.
