Kuwait is sweltering under extreme temperatures this week, with the mercury hitting a blistering 51°C (123.8°F) on Thursday—just shy of the country’s all-time high of 53.5°C. The Kuwait Meteorological Department confirmed the scorching temps, warning residents to brace for more 'unbearable' conditions. 🔥
This heatwave isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous.
