Dubai, the Middle Eastern financial hub, has been buffeted by humidity and heat waves that’s already caused temperatures to feel higher than 60C (140F) several days this summer.
On July 20, for example, temperatures hit a high of 42C at Dubai International Airport, according to data from the US National Weather Service. However, intense humidity that day compounded the heat to make it feel like more than 62C, according to the weather service’s heat index, which combines both metrics to express how the temperature feels to the human body.
Even for healthy people this can’t be good.
On the plus side, all the tech bros that moved there for 0 taxes are regretting it dearly now 😀
