54°C

Friday, May 11, 2012

New experience today – 129+°F Wikipedia says the highest temperature recorded in Basra was 52°C. Now the car was driving over a sunlit road, so it was recording a higher temperature than you would see over shaded ground, but it is only May.

Our vehicle shows 54°C on a may day in Basra, Iraq.

Summer is going to be fun.
