The hottest night in Oman's history

In Couryat, Oman, a row of palm trees and empty boats sit on the beach. On June 26th, this is a coke oven in Couryat Town, Oman. According to the underground weather forecast, the daytime temperature in this town reaches the highest point 12 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (49.8 degrees Celsius). This is not as high as the record of 123.4 degrees Fahrenheit (50.8 degrees Celsius) set by Oman on May 30, 20 17, but anyone who wants to get a break from the extreme high temperature at night in Curiat will be disappointed: the temperature has dropped to a low of only 108.7 degrees Fahrenheit (42.6 degrees Celsius). This is a world record: the highest "low temperature" ever. Oman is a hot and dry country, located at the southeast end of the * * * Peninsula (south of Saudi Arabia and east of Yemen). It is a very hot place, including the latest recorded high and low temperatures. According to the underground meteorological station, on June 27th, 201/year, the temperature at Hassab Airport reached 107.4 degrees Fahrenheit (4 1.9 degrees Celsius).

According to the underground meteorological report, this new record is due to the high-pressure air "ridge" in the upper atmosphere over the peninsula, which trapped the humid air in the Indian Ocean in this area and prevented the heat from escaping at night.

According to the data of the World Meteorological Association, in July 19 13, 10, the hottest temperature on the earth's surface was 134 degrees Fahrenheit (56.7 degrees Celsius).
