We often think wildest and most extreme about weather conditions. And what comes first while thinking about extreme climate? Well, the word synonymous with extreme would be desert. Usually, the desert is well known as a barren land with the lowest rainfall in the region. In contrast, the adverse weather condition of the landscape includes huge dues of warm sand and scorching heat.

And deserts are the most hostile place for any vegetation. Most surprisingly, one-third of the earth’s surface is arid or semi-arid, which means a lack of pristine water provides an unfavorable climate for nourishing any habitation. At the same time, the extremely dry and hot climates of deserts are the same throughout the year. And if you have the same question in your mind, what are the top 5 largest deserts? Then Weather News Point would become your prominent travel guide. And here we are, unfolding the five largest deserts around the world.
