'It felt like someone holding a hairdryer to my face.'
Severe dust storms make the heat feel worse Remember the unbearable heat in the UK where record-breaking temperatures reached 40C? While spring has finally arrived in the UK, and we’re looking forward to the warmth of the sun, there is such a thing as too hot. In one country in particular, there’s a city so hot that birds can be seen falling dead from the sky, and there’s even air conditioning outside in the streets.
The one positive about living in the world’s hottest city is that during the summer months, the city – and particularly the roads – are pretty quiet, with so many people leaving for long getaways, only returning when it’s cooled down. But, even when Kuwait City is not facing record-breaking heat, average temperatures are still pretty sky high, reaching 45°C.
