Climate Change: Ghana ranked the 13th hottest country in the world

Ghana, with a mean annual temperature of 27.7°C has been ranked the 13th hottest country on earth.

On the African Continent, Ghana ranks as the 8th hottest African country.

This is per a list of mean annual temperatures put together by Yahoo Finance.

Ghana’s neighbouring country to the north – Burkina Faso – with a mean annual temperature of 29.3°C is the hottest country in the world.

Burkina Faso is closely followed by Mali which ranks as the second hottest country globally.

Currently, Africa is experiencing one of the most severe heatwaves in recent memory, with temperatures causing intense inconveniences.

Extreme heat strains is affecting the populations in arid regions like the Sahara and the Serengeti savanna, straining people, resources, and infrastructure to near breaking point.

Some African countries have experienced temperatures close to 50°C during the year.

A publication, Down to Earth, reported that “Between March 18-19, 2024, at least five African nations — South Africa, Gabon, Kenya and South Sudan — reported record-breaking temperatures.”

South Sudan was able to record as high as 43 degrees Celcius on extremely hot days, while the numbers for South Africa’s Twee Rivieren, Upington, and Postmasburg, experienced 43.7°C, 42.3°C, 38.8°C, respectively.

One of the most worrying characteristics of this heatwave is its length. Heatwaves often pass fast, but this one has lasted weeks with little respite in sight. This prolonged exposure to severe heat exacerbates the effects on both human health and the ecosystem.

Currently, Egypt is faced with an energy crisis exasperated by the heat wave.

In every region of the continent, from East to West and North to South, there is some measure of heatwave.

Nasa recently reported that “in March 2024, a heatwave scorched East Africa. The extreme heat forced government officials to resort to emergency safety measures including shuttering schools in South Sudan for two weeks.”
