A
video making rounds on internet shows a truck’s tire sinking in the
road that was melting because of the heat.
Yes,
you read that right. A concrete road melting.
The
incident reportedly took place near a supermarket in Al Dahiya,
Kuwait.
Extreme
heat has choked Kuwait, with temperatures soaring above 104°F. The
heat intensified earlier this week when the temperature reportedly
hit 120°F.
According
to the Kuwait Times, power consumption rates in the country soared
high with record-levels of 13,440 megawatts due to the heat wave.
According
to Al Arabiya, Kuwait's municipality decided to introduce evening
burials and funeral prayers until September, owing to the extreme
weather conditions.
"The
measure is part of the municipality's keenness on easing the process
for the relatives of the deceased and for the mourners attending the
funeral," said Faisal Al Awadhi, head of the funeral affairs
department at the municipality.
The
video of a truck’s rear wheel descending in the melting ground
because of the extreme high temperature is an eye opening look at how
bad the heat is in the Middle Eastern country right now.
Kuwait so hot the pavement melts
Earlier
in 2016, the world’s hottest day was recorded in Kuwait with
maximum temperatures hitting 129°F in the southern city of Basra.
A
2016 study led by NASA revealed the Middle East experienced the worst
drought in 900 years due to climate change that year. Probable
extreme weather conditions caused by adverse effects of climate
change could make parts of the Middle East and North Africa
uninhabitable by the end of the current century.
I say BS to this!
