Hotter than the gates of hell š¬

Avg temp in August is in the upper 110 degree range so not far off.
I live there, it is not as hot as you think
Thatās happening really often here, almost every summer.
Average dew point in August in Basra is 70 F. That is not dry heat.
seems like a nice place
Time to turn the AC up a notch
The scorcher is starting.
I’m curious about what’s happening along the South Coast of Oman. I thought it was hot desert just like everywhere else
Today is the anniversary of the Beirut port explosion. Sometimes Iām not happy I live in Lebanon. But sometimes, such as when looking at this map, Iām happy I live in Lebanon.
I survived 122 degrees before, barely.
Man that sucks
I remember being a kid in Phoenix when it hit 122 back in like 91ish and I fried an egg on the street.
Shit is no fun
Hottest Iāve experienced was 114 in Arizona. I was able to layout at the pool and tan for a few hours. Being an Oregonian it was AMAZING to experience heat without being constantly sweaty. It just dries instantly. Truly amazing.
Phoenix AZ gets close to or hits 120 every summer
āWhy is the Middle East unlucky in every aspect
Iāve experienced 50 degree heat in Australia. What a lot of people donāt understand is that itās *exceptionally* hot, and you canāt actually do much at all – it is incredibly restricting. Getting into a car is like facing the heat of an oven. The sun feels like a weight on your skin. Dogs burn their paws on tarmac. Itās hard to shelter anywhere / only inside with the curtains and blinds closed and full blast air con. Outside work is near impossible. With rapid global heating now an established fact, people have no idea whatās coming.
I spent the summer of 2009 stationed near the port outside Basra when I was deployed there with 4th infantry, US Army.
Growing up in Phoenix, and also living in Georgia, Basra was hands down the most brutal weather Iāve ever encountered. Absolutely crippling heat and humidity.
What’s the wet bulb temperature?
Finland has had the coldest motherfuckinf summerĀ
Sweaty balls weather
Yeah but itās a dry heat, you know. No humidity.
Whatās more crazy is when it drops to 90 degrees at night and you feel cold
I know a lot of Kuwaitis who are trying to find alternative citizenship for their children because these areas will be much harsher than they are now in 30ā40 years.
It’s in the same country as me. Oh, just to clarify, the population of Basra City District is 1.3-1.5 million, while the population of Basra Governorate is 3.6 million.
