While much of the world sleeps in mild summer nights, the Gulf baked through the darkest hours under temperatures above +40°C, without a single breath of cooling. In UAE and Oman, even the night turned into a furnace, obliterating all known norms of nocturnal temperatures. This is not just abnormal — it is unprecedented in recorded human climatic history.
☀️ A DAWN AT +40°C:
As the sun rose in Fujairah and Dhudna, thermometers still read 40°C — at dawn, not at midday. The heat index (felt temperature) at night exceeded +57°C in some spots, rivaling the hottest daytime conditions anywhere on Earth.
🌡️ NIGHT OF FIRE — MINIMUM TEMPERATURES:
- Fujairah and Dhudna: above +40°C
- Rustaq, Oman: +35.8°C
- Sohar Majis, Oman: +35.5°C
- Khassab, UAE: +46°C at 11 PM, with dry, bone-scorching desert wind
- Fujairah, UAE: +35°C at 2 AM with 80% humidity, a dew point of 31°C, and a hellish “feel-like” of 56.5°C (134°F)
These are not days. These are nights that redefine what it means to “cool down.”
🧨 THE END OF COOL:
There was no relief, no drop, no mercy. For an entire night, millions of people breathed oven air, and AC units choked to keep up.
📜 WORLD CLIMATIC HISTORY REWRITTEN:
This isn’t just a regional anomaly. This is a global climatic rewriting. The tropics have seen hot nights before — but an all-night +40°C zone over such a large area is unmatched. Even death valley rarely sees full nights this extreme.
🌍 THE ERA OF PERPETUAL HEAT HAS ARRIVED.
