Imagine if we had summer all through the year. Impossible, you say? Well, there are some places where there are no seasons. There has been no rain in some of these places for millions of years. All year long it is hot and dry. Pelican Point in Namibia gets an average rainfall of 8.13mm per year. Though it is known for its dryness, it is a much sought-after surfer spot. In Wadi Halfa, Sudan, they enjoy an annual rainfall of 2.45mm. It lies in the middle of the Sahara and is a picture-perfect desert town. Aswan, Egypt, may be known for its dam but for most of the year there is no moisture and it remains hot and dehydrated. The city’s closeness to the Tropic of Cancer also contributes to the high temperature and dry weather. The other places known for their dry weather are Al-Kufrah in Libya and Arica in Chile
Let’s take a look at some of the other places.
