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.
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

If you can dream it punters are already betting on it.
Holy shiscabob! That’s OSHA’s touch safe temp limit!

Winter is dying. It used to get very cold, now it gets mildly cold. I think in another decade or two there will be no more winters.
Canada just had a record winter, global warming makes extremes more extreme
No it’s a warming of the planet with extreme weather events.
If you think winter is going to get colder, you’re wrong.you might get more blizzards and storms, but global warming means the planet gets WARMER overall (which is part of what causes the extreme weather events).
Global warming causes weather events to intensify. >Fall and spring< are dying first. While there will be more mild winters as it goes, when we do get winters they will come with record lows and record snowfall -like that one in Texas.
As winters die out, (wet season) Hurricane season will lengthen, and then we will lose winter as everything becomes more…tropical. The world will shift to what the tropics are used to - hot season and rainy season. With warming powering them, hurricanes will be monsterously large.
My town broke Florida’s all-time record for snow last winter, 10" from mid-morning till near sundown That’s a direct result of hot air from the other side of the planet slamming the polar vortex.
(can’t fix the link)
Jeebus. That’s fucking wild.
This summer has been like summers when I was a kid. I’m a few hundred miles north of where I was.
(Neighbors look at us like we’re crazy when working outside in the mid 90s, humidity is only like 60-70%.) Heat tolerance is a superpower, apparently.
Mosquitos and snow disappear. Conspiracy idiots around me still don’t believe that climate change and pollution exists.
I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
This made my roll my eyes so hard, I am now looking at my frontal lobe.
every summer seems
Yep, they always rely on their feelings for some reason, and cannot accept that some people study data with mathematics (aka science). I don’t know how could anyone rely on their feelings. I know deep in my heart that I’m the most unreliable guy ever and that our eyes and stupid interpretations can be deceiving.
If they had an ounce of humility, they would understand that they can reproduce most of the science experiments in their homes, and it would lead to the same results.
Mosquitos are worse at my camp in the swamp. The tiny ponds dried up, killed the dragonfly larva, no dragonflies this year. Leaving in a bit to lay traps.

Are you currently detained at Alligator Alcatraz?
Winter is not coming
If the golf stream shuts down, it will be coming back hard.
Oh winter is coming.
It’s just going to take a while, but it will come.
And it will either be a nuclear winter or an ice age. Yay!
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
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
I no longer have the right complain about hot weather when that’s a Monday in Turkey. I can’t even imagine going to work AND dealing with that nonsense.
since when is the southeast of turkey in europa? never was, never will be!
The article never mentions anything about south eastern Turkey being in Europe.
Such a hair trigger you guys have, whenever Turkey and Europe are in the same sentence, here i find you
Europeans, still: Why would I waste money on air conditioning?
Yeah using even more energy will surely fix the climate crisis.
The amount of energy used by increasing AC usage is diminutive compared to things like, IDK, AI data centers that require an entirely new, dedicated power plant to run. Prioritize the big assholes first, before you insist that the little guys should be the ones to suffer.
One does not exclude the other.
You know that the warmer countries usually have ways to deal with it, including many having AC, right? Talking about “Europeans” collectively doesn’t make sense. Why would I waste money and resources on AC in Sweden or the UK to deal with our two weeks of warm weather? Our homes are instead built to deal with cold conditions.
Don’t worry, Trump is over there to teach you how to do things the American way. See, you use the cheapest lumber, plywood and pine boards, and then you cover it all in plastic sheeting. Then you put up drywall, which is about the weakest material known to man, and cover the interior walls with no plaster or anything
Then what you want to do is really crank the plastic up to 11. Plastic siding, expanding plastic foam in the walls, just fill up the attic with it
And you want to make the designs very basic, they should all look nearly identical
And now you have a house that will require constant A/C or heating, because it’s a plastic bubble with terrible air circulation. Also, you have to worry about the whole thing rotting if it gets too damp
But if you do everything right, it might last 50 whole years
Oh how lovely that sounds! I am beginning to tire of my old brick building… I hope this is part of that totally equal trade deal the EU just made with our saviour so we can crank up the Americanisation!
Yep! Look forward to bleached meat and widening all your roads to accommodate pointlessly enormous trucks you currently need a CDL to drive
You’re going to have to rip up everything and redo it all just for that
Amazing, finally I’ll have space to drive the tank I’ve always dreamed of and I’ll never have to worry about parking spots when I go to the new super mall to buy corn syrup-filled food! I hope we tear down all these old crap buildings and will have a serious building boom! Preferably mass-produced cardboard houses and glass skyscrapers!
Yes and the southern countries also know how to build houses that don’t turn into ovens in the heat, thick walls, etc.
Are Americans just weak? Lol.
50.5 degrees sounds pleasantly chilly
95% of the world’s population uses Celsius, by the way.
American spotted
