Turkey is hit by a record high temperature of 50.5 degrees as southeastern Europe reels under a heat wave and battles wildfires.

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.

    Mosquitos and snow disappear. Conspiracy idiots around me still don’t believe that climate change and pollution exists.

      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.
