Dayrestan, Iran unofficially ties heat index record with unfathomable 178 degree reading

[BackInTheGame78]

Qeshm Dayrestan International Airport in Dayrestan, Iran just unofficially tied a heat index record, posting a mind numbing 178 degree reading...

It's location along the Persian Gulf saw water temperatures approach 98 degrees(another world record) and a dew point of 97 degrees(another world record) air temperatures at 100, and combined with oppressive humidity a person would be in danger of dying from not being able to cool down even while in the shade after an hour or two...

Basically imagine Phoenix with Florida humidity, except way higher.

It's a "record" only because we didn't start to officially record temperature until approximately 150 years ago. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old and we know from the geological record that today's average temperate is actually way below the long-term historical average.

After the weirdness in Maui, with the locals having refused to sell land to celebs, the same exact police chief (John Pelletier) who was in Vegas presiding over the Harvest Festival massacre before presiding over affairs in Maui, and the extremely odd fires in recent years in California where houses and cars got burned to a crisp while surrounding trees were completely untouched, and Iran long having been a declared enemy of the West, maybe there's something to these rumors of weather manipulation.

I'm just gonna point my finger at you man, that's what happens when you bang a sex-freak 25-year-old hottie, the world burns.

That's true, but humans were not around during that time and that was for a reason.

It's the warmest it's been in 20,000 years since the Ice Age. It took 10,000 years for the earth to warm up 3 degrees C from that point and humans will likely accomplish that in under 200 years thanks to industry and burning of fossil fuels.

The rate at which it is increasing is staggering and it seems to be increasing far greater than what the models have predicted.

We’re experiencing Earth’s hottest weather in 120,000 years, and it’s just getting started

As hot as it is now, the summer of 2023 might be considered a “cool” summer to future generations.

Who's to say there weren't other periods in the past (long before humans/the industrial revolution) when temperatures increases or decreased by 3 degrees in 200 years?

In the 80's and and 90's there was a MASSIVE hysteria about the supposedly vanishing ozone lawyer. The "issue" was covered in the news non-stop, just like global warming today. Celebrities were talking and singing about it (i.e. Neil Young in Rockin' in the Free World). Dire predictions were being made (everyone in Australia was supposed to get skin cancer by the year 2000). And then...everyone just stopped talking about it and the problem magically disappeared (kind of like COVID, but I digress).

Can bacteria even exist at this temperature? Just cook on the pavement lol

You are right. Who knows when Iran started keeping meteorological records. It's definitely very hot and humid with relative humidity at 100% and the dewpoint nearing the body temperature but it's not the end of the world. It's typical summer weather for that part of the world.

They have ways and methods of determining that by looking at various things like tree rings, etc that basically keep a living history.

Thank you for your pedantry. In the Hadean Eon, the whole Earth was like a lava field, and some 6 billion years from now, the greatly expanded Sun will make Earth break all records.





It will be OVER for EarthCels.

The common figure thrown around is that a wet-bulb temperature of 35C is completely incompatible with human life since the best that someone could do with natural cooling (i.e., covered in water/sweat, with a breeze) is get down to the wet-bulb. The dew point is not really directly relevant (it is a measure of absolute humidity), although it is the lower bound on wet-bulb temperature (i.e., that 36C dew point means that the wet-bulb was at least that high).

As ridiculous as it sounds, a lot of deserts have a very low wet-bulb temperature even when the regular (i.e., "dry-bulb") temperature is super high. It can be triple-digits, but once you get out of a swimming pool, your skin quickly goes down to the low wet-bulb temperature, and you start feeling VERY COLD until you wipe the water off your skin.

There's a kebab place that I frequent that is run by some Bangladeshis, and I can't believe how they can take the heat in there (i.e., a kebab place always has a shoarma spit with the heat element on). I guess taking the heat is a benefit of being an EthnicCel - kind of like fitting in tight airplane seating is a benefit of being a ShortCel.

Uh, it didn't "magically" disappear; it disappeared because governments started restricting ozone-depleting chemicals, which is why a lot of folks like Yours Truly bought new cars in the mid '90s once the A/C broke down and could only get fixed by a ridiculously expensive retrofit that cost more than an old car was worth.

If you actually believe that, I’ve got a profitable Bangladeshi kebab business to sell you.

That's ground temperature, not air temperature. This is just "wow look at this!" news for views.

No it's a heat index not the actual temperature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

Uhh...actually the ozone thing was improved by banning the use of things like freon, refrigerants and aerosols coming out of the Montreal Protocol in 1987 and inventing newer ones that didn't contain the things that were found harmful to the ozone layer.

This shouldn't be that hard to understand why it started improving, nor should it be hard to look at satellite images over time that show picture of it before and after 1987 up to today that show the improvement since that point over time.

But of course it's easier to do none of that and just rail about conspiracy theories or fake stuff and show your unbridled ignorance on the topic.

Always one in every thread...the person who thinks they know everything about the topic when they actually are much closer to Knowing nothing.

Then how come the ozone improved despite China still pushing out large amount of harmful substances into the atmosphere or volcanoes shooting harmful substances into the air? Huh?

Probably because the entire rest of the world stopped adding to what they are putting out?

Think, McFly, think.

 

[HaleyBaron]

No they didn't.

Russia.
South America.
Central America.
East Europe.
India.

They have and still push large amounts of substances into the air today.

And oh don't worry, I'm sure I'm thinking if you are conveniently ignoring the rest of the world you claim stopped.

And you fail to account for the hole that's over the Antartica. The one that has been there since long before cities were built. Did they have freon and aerosols back in the dinosaur age, too, huh?
