AL-AHSA The Arabian Gulf region experienced an intense heat wave on Tuesday. Kuwait recorded the highest temperature on the planet, reaching 51.3 degrees Celsius, exceeding half the boiling point, in a worrying environmental indicator that goes beyond a mere weather phenomenon.

According to Abdullah Al-Misnad, vice president of the Saudi Weather and Climate Society, Al-Ahsa and Dammam in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia recorded on Tuesday temperatures reaching 49.6 degrees Celsius and 49.3 degrees Celsius respectively, amid rising temperatures in several Gulf regions.

Al-Misnad noted that five Gulf countries are among the world's hottest regions, with temperatures in more than 10 locations exceeding 48 degrees Celsius, which he described as "an alarming level."

He stressed that heat is no longer just weather, but an environmental, economic, and tourism warning. He underlined the need to take a serious stance from the part of the relevant authorities and society to adapt to this new reality imposed by accelerating climate change.
