Hotter than..........

So there is a part of the desert in Qatar that is mostly limestone (no sand) that I know. This area gets heat soaked in the summer so the air temp never drops below 40 degrees and during the day it gets really very hot.

Me and a friend decide that we would buy a thermometer and go to this part of the desert to see if we can get a pic of a thermometer showing over 50 degrees.

The following shot was taken after leaving the thermometer outside of the car for 10 minutes and has not been photoshopped or put in an oven, it is really that hot.

Mad dogs and Scotsmen then. There are places on this earth where humans just don't belong.

I'm Canadian. I went skiing in -60C weather last winter.

Looking at this...I can't even process it. I feel like jumping in the lake the second the temperature breaks 30.

Last time i went to Iraq in the summer of July it was 55 Celsius or 131 Fahrenheit. The thing about heat in the middle east you have to consider is that the humidity is generally much lower there compared to say in the northern European countries. If it gets hot here, you feel like you are walking through a very hot swamp, it is that much worse.

Come for a visit to Qatar in August when the humidity gets to around 60%. European countries dont use air conditioning as much as the Middle East and I am worried about how I will have to adapt to sleeping without it at some point.

Buy a mosquito net and sleep on the roof of your house outside and you'll be ok. That is how we stayed cool during the night.
