WxUSAF Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Siri Island, Iran, an oil port on the Arabian Gulf, has frequent summer minima in the 90s, though I don't think they've had 100+ as their maxima rarely get far into triples. Their claim to fame is dewpoint, which is often 85-90F, sometimes with "blowing sand" as the obs. Blecchhh! Qatar (which I traveled through on my way to/from Iraq) can have something similar with 100F+ temps and 80-90F dewpoints if they get a good wind direction off the water. There was fog a couple mornings when I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Wow-- you should see some of the massive temp swings they have in Rapid City, SD, even in just a few minutes..... temp plummets dozens of degrees and then rises dozens of degrees-- all within a couple hours or less. I read that car windshields were cracking as people drove from the warm air into the cold air, it just happened so quickly.
