Kuwait Records Highest Temperature On Earth
According to local media, the Kuwaiti city of Al Jahra has seen the world's hottest temperatures, with temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius in the shade.
Al Jahra had the highest temperatures on earth on Sunday, according to the global temperature index, with 49.7 °C, followed by Al Wafra city with 49.7 °C.
An extremely hot air mass is now affecting Kuwait and portions of southern Iraq, as well as eastern and northeastern Saudi Arabia, and is anticipated to last for the rest of the week, with temperatures surpassing 50° C.
On June 25, last year, the Kuwaiti city of Nawasib registered 53.2 degrees Celsius, the world's hottest temperature since then. Meanwhile, in Iran, Ahvas and Al Amidiyah each reached 50.1 degrees Celsius, and in Kuwait, Jahra recorded 50.1 degrees Celsius.
Kuwait's summer season is marked by a lack of rain, extreme heat, and powerful winds, known as 'Al Bawareh,' which start blowing in late May with 'Al Bareh Al Sagheer' (little) and last until mid-July with 'Al Bareh Al Kabeer (grand)', causing dust storms in the country's deserts.
The extreme heat is caused by the flow of Indian low-pressure winds into the Zagros Mountains, where the wind loses heat at a rate of six degrees per kilometre owing to compression at the high elevation.
