Rather ironic that the most hellishly hot place on Earth is the 'holiest' place to muhamedans. Not a surprise there, in fact the 'Hajj' may be God showing muhamedans Mercy by providing them a foretaste of eternity.

A taste of the Second Coming.

[smokingfrog]

Yep. Probably one of the most miserable places on earth for any number of reasons.

[Bullish]

Oh it’s gonna’ get very, very hot in Mecca before this is all through. That’s for sure.

Going to hell should be an easy transition for Muslims then.

[nickedknack]

Fitting that loci for the two major branches of a genocidal 7th Century death cult should be located in the most hellish of climes.

I can attest to the article as I am close by in Abu Dhabi and it’s 114 degrees (45C) with a heat index of 118. Luckily it’s cooler today as the heat index yesterday was 123. Getting in the car is fun after it’s been heat soaked as the interior can get well above 140. Ahhh, the Arabian peninsula in summer.

I’ve been to Jeddah, which is close by, and can attest......it’s HOT!

38.2° C = 100° F

It gives the people in Mecca a chance to get acclimatized to the conditions where they will be spending eternity.

Since “The Weather Channel” is located in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, why in Hades do they write an article with that misfit measurement system???

Say it Fahrenheit, and say it loud!

[Chode]

so if gloBULL warming is making the earth hotter, why isn't it getting proportionally hotter there also?

[DaveA37]

“most hellishly hot place on Earth is the ‘holiest’ place to muhamedans.”..........

No wonder those rag heads want to come to “North America”, we all know “NORTH” relates to cold weather.

I have a friend from the Army days of the sixties living in Havasu City. Curious as the temperatures discussed are quite similar to the temperatures he writes about there, and often sends photographs of his wall thermometer. It’s always quite into the high one hundred-twenties there in the Summertime.

[backwoods-engineer]

Sorry, I don't believe "official" temperature data anymore. There have been too many lies told, and too much manipulation of the data. If I don't record the temperature myself, on equipment I maintain, I take it with a grain of salt.

This lack of societal trust is what the Global Warmalcolding liars have done to us.

[jughandle]

New York City! If you listen to the local radio news anyway. You’d think a couple 90deg days was the end of the world.

[hawg-farmer - FR..October 1998]

Yuma Az...The average July high temperature can hit a scorching 107° F, making it one of the hottest cities in the United States behind Phoenix. In 1995, Yuma reached its all-time high at 124 F. The high temperature isn’t the only stand-out trait of Yuma. I was there in La Paz Prison Yard. There were no drinking fountains on the Yard...he he
