In the city of Bandar Mahshahr (population of about 110,000 as of 2010), the air felt like a searing 154 degrees (67.8 Celsius) today, factoring in the humidity.

Its actual air temperature was 109 degrees (42.8 Celsius) with an astonishing dew point temperature of 90 (32.2 Celsius). (If you use NOAA’s calculator, that actually computes to a heat index of 159 degrees).

Evidently that measurement was taken before the peak heat of the day.

In other news, Katharine is currently swimming off the NC coast.  Who is Katharine you ask?

 

Researchers captured the 14-foot, 2,300-pound great white shark in August 2013 offCape Cod, fitted her dorsal fin with a satellite tracking device and dubbed her "Katharine."

Very cool stuff on this. I keep track on Facebook with them and see all kinds of shark activity off the east coast.
