Couple days ago I read a tweet which said the Persian Gulf International Airport in Tehran, Iran, reported 66.7ºC (152ºF) on Sunday.

Stunning. But not accurate. That’s the 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘹, not the temperature. Temp was actually 40ºC (104ºF) with 65 percent relative humidity. Miserable weather, but no, a major population center hasn’t shot up to completely unsurvivable temperatures.

Yet.
