Iran is buckling under the pressure of a massive heatwave passing across the Middle East, with temperatures soaring to nearly 70°C.
Scorching heat levels of 50°C have already paralyzed nearby Iraq, where officials were forced to call a four-day public holiday because it was too hot to work.
But the word “hot” has taken on an entirely new meaning in Iran’s city of Bandar Mahshahr, where it was claimed that the city’s heat index, or “feels-like temperature”, was among the highest ever recorded.
The heat index was recorded by a group of astonished weather experts, who predict the country could be enduring some of the hottest urban temperatures ever endured by mankind. …

Dang.
I bet they like AC right now.
Let me be the 1st to say; Death to Iran

Iran's Lut Desert has been up there in the past. Guess conditions were right to park the heat over populated areas.
Heck, there's been a persistent ridge in Western Canada that's been screwing up, depending on where you live, the expected weather in the US. I'm on the lower end of use of AC at home this year. And it's been wetter.
Those West of the Rockies, not so much.
This must be a Gaia-send to the warmists. Just yesterday they were having to announce that more ice in Antarctica was evidence of global warming, and that’s just embarrassing.
