The hottest, coldest and windiest major cities on Earth - right now, live
Loading live data from 168 cities…
This page tracks live current conditions across 168 major cities worldwide and ranks them in real time: the hottest, the coldest and the windiest places at this very moment. Rankings shift hour by hour as the sun sweeps around the planet - afternoon heat peaks travel west, while the deepest cold sits in whichever hemisphere is in winter darkness.
Typical faces at the top of the heat board: Gulf cities like Kuwait City, Doha and Riyadh in the northern summer, and Australian and South American cities in the southern summer. The cold board is usually a contest between Siberia, the Canadian interior and the high Andes.
This page ranks live temperatures across 168 major world cities, refreshed from the Open-Meteo API. The all-time record belongs to Death Valley, USA (56.7 °C in 1913), but on any given day the hottest major city is usually in the Persian Gulf, the Sahara region or South Asia.
Among major cities, the coldest spot is usually in Siberia, Canada or the high Andes, depending on the season. The all-time record low is −89.2 °C at Vostok Station, Antarctica.
Each ranking is built from current conditions fetched directly from Open-Meteo when you open the page, and it refreshes automatically every 10 minutes.
