how to navigate getting boiled alive?
Hi, I'm from the Middle East, and on top of the shitfest that this area is and has always been, we are probably foremost in terms of getting fucked by increasing heat, second only to India I think.
I don't know if or how much we're being affected by this "super El Nino" thingy but the heat has been fucking ridiculous!! Tomorrow it will be 42 degrees in my area. 42. What the fuck is that? Years ago i'd be dreading a 40 day. It's May. What is going to happen in August?
I'm spending all day like that one Jordan Peele gif, I don't think humans are supposed to exist at these temperatures? I don't even have to be outside much, what is happening to the farmers and construction workers and such? At what point do they just drop dead?
I'm just drinking a lot of water and hoping I won't have to be outside after like 10 AM. It is what it is I guess.
40

I spent a year in Saudi Arabia in the early 2000. It rained 2x for maybe 10 minutes each time, extremely low humidity, and it did hit high 30+ to likely 40+ in the summer. Now I see pics of flooding road rivers, heavy rain. I cannot imagine the misery of high humidity and those temps. Even in the 2000's we did shopping etc at night. What are they doing now I wonder.
