Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa. Its borders on the north reach deep into the Sahara Desert with a hot dry climate and scorching summers. The temperature here can reach up to +48°C. However, other parts of Mali also suffer from poor rainfall, severe drought, and high temperatures. Notably, the average annual temperature in Mali is 28.8°C, above the world record.
