[OT] Weather trivia question
Hi.
can anyone tell me which is the largest country in the world where it never snows? Not just at sea level, but anywhere including any mountains. Brazil is a good starting point but apparently in the far south in june you can get some on the mountains. other countries still in the frame are sudan, saudi arabia and indonesia. does anyone have the definative answer? thanks alistair. |

It certainly snows occasionally in Saudi Arabia. I remember one notable occasion in the 1970s when Riyadh reported continuous moderate snow. It's about 2000 ft above sea level. There's a glacier in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian half of New Guinea island. The mountains there reach about 16,000 ft. I don't know about Sudan. Norman.
