Turkey’s Environment Ministry said meteorologists had registered a reading of 50.5 degrees Celsius (122.9 degrees Fahrenheit) in the southeast of the country, setting a nationwide record.
The record temperature was registered on Friday at Silopi, the ministry said in a post on X on Saturday.
Silopi is 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Turkey’s borders with Iraq and Syria.
The previous heat record, registered in August 2023, was 49.5 degrees Celsius.
If I could bet $100 million with x99 margin leverage that next year will be hotter, I’d be rich like a oil execitive; but I’m not an oil exec to have $100M in their bank… lol who would benefit more if the world boiled to noninhabitability oh… shit… you don’t say
Holy shiscabob! That’s OSHA’s touch safe temp limit!

20 something more degrees and it’ll be good enough to eat
That global warming huh?
Couldn’t be, some places still get snow.
Nooo no no… We just have been breaking the global heat record for every year for over a decade stright almost proportionally to how much greenhouse gases the fossil-fuel industries put out in the atomsphere and only ever since they started doing it.
Winter is dying. It used to get very cold, now it gets mildly cold. I think in another decade or two there will be no more winters.
Canada just had a record winter, global warming makes extremes more extreme
Global warming causes weather events to intensify. >Fall and spring< are dying first. While there will be more mild winters as it goes, when we do get winters they will come with record lows and record snowfall -like that one in Texas.
As winters die out, (wet season) Hurricane season will lengthen, and then we will lose winter as everything becomes more…tropical. The world will shift to what the tropics are used to - hot season and rainy season. With warming powering them, hurricanes will be monsterously large.
My town broke Florida’s all-time record for snow last winter, 10" from mid-morning till near sundown That’s a direct result of hot air from the other side of the planet slamming the polar vortex.

Jeebus. That’s fucking wild.
This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I’m a few hundred miles north of where I was.
(Neighbors look at us like we’re crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.
Mosquitos and snow disappear. Conspiracy idiots around me still don’t believe that climate change and pollution exists.
I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
This made my roll my eyes so hard, I am now looking at my frontal lobe.
every summer seems
Yep, they always rely on their feelings for some reason, and cannot accept that some people study data with mathematics (aka science). I don’t know how could anyone rely on their feelings. I know deep in my heart that I’m the most unreliable guy ever and that our eyes and stupid interpretations can be deceiving.
If they had an ounce of humility, they would understand that they can reproduce most of the science experiments in their homes, and it would lead to the same results.
Mosquitos are worse at my camp in the swamp. The tiny ponds dried up, killed the dragonfly larva, no dragonflies this year. Leaving in a bit to lay traps.

Are you currently detained at Alligator Alcatraz?
Winter is not coming
If the golf stream shuts down, it will be coming back hard.
Oh winter is coming.
It’s just going to take a while, but it will come.
And it will either be a nuclear winter or an ice age. Yay!
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Europeans, still: Why would I waste money on air conditioning?
Yeah using even more energy will surely fix the climate crisis.
The amount of energy used by increasing AC usage is diminutive compared to things like, IDK, AI data centers that require an entirely new, dedicated power plant to run. Prioritize the big assholes first, before you insist that the little guys should be the ones to suffer.
One does not exclude the other.
You know that the warmer countries usually have ways to deal with it, including many having AC, right? Talking about “Europeans” collectively doesn’t make sense. Why would I waste money and resources on AC in Sweden or the UK to deal with our two weeks of warm weather? Our homes are instead built to deal with cold conditions.
Are Americans just weak? Lol.
50.5 degrees sounds pleasantly chilly
