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.
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.
