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
