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.
That global warming huh?
Couldn’t be, some places still get snow.
For now.
As long as there is 1 square meter of snow/ice anywhere on the planet, we can’t tell for sure if global warming is happening.So let’s do nothing until then.
Nooo no no… We just have been breaking the global heat record for every year for over a decade stright almost proportionally to how much greenhouse gases the fossil-fuel industries put out in the atomsphere and only ever since they started doing it.
20 something more degrees and it’ll be good enough to eat
Hey kids, come dowm for dinner, turkeys almost done
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

50.5 degrees sounds pleasantly chilly
95% of the world’s population uses Celsius, by the way.
