Unprecedented Heat Paralyzed Life in Middle East
In these days Iran is at the center of the movement of hot air flows throughout the Middle East with a record high temperature of nearly 70C, writes British The Telegraph.
The heat of 50 degrees has paralyzed neighboring Iraq, where the authorities were forced to declare non-working four days because of the intolerable heat.
However, the concept of "heat" has acquired a whole new meaning in the Iranian city of Bandar Mashahr which recorded one of the highest temperatures ever recorded.
Amazed forecasters believe it is the absolute record ever recorded and experienced by mankind in the city.
However, an absolute record heat wave was recorded on July 8, 2003 in the Saudi desert in Darkhan, where meteorologists recorded 81 degrees.
These days, the authorities urge people of Iraq and neighboring countries to drink a lot of water and stay in the shade to protect themselves from "thermal shock".
Forecasters explain that the current heat is a dense area of high pressure, which is called the "Dome" and is a united front, creating problems with electricity and water, making the heat even more unbearable.
Now the “Dome” covers a vast zone that has encompassed the entire Middle East, South Caucasus, Central Asia and part of North Africa.
Forecasters do not give a clear answer to the question: how long the residents of these regions would have to remain under the "dome". However, it is already clear that it will have a serious negative impact on human health and on the harvest of plant products, which suffers from water shortages. -02D-
