Apocalpytic Iran Heat Wave Nearly Breaks World Record
Saudi Arabia
Iran experienced a mind-boggling 164 degrees (73 Celsius) heat index reading last Friday, in what some might see as a warning by the Almighty Himself that all options are on the table...Meteorological experts said Iran is experiencing some of the hottest temperatures "ever endured by humankind." "That was one of the most incredible temperature observations I have ever seen, and it is one of the most extreme readings ever in the world," AccuWeather meteorologist Anthony Saglia told The Telegraph...The rising temperatures are part of a regional "heat dome," a type of high pressure ridge that is causing soaring temperatures and is expected to last several days.
