For some perspective, since this seems to be on the sensational side, the yearly average high for August is 117, with temperatures routinely reaching into the 120s, with similar reports found through the last decade (on mobile, can’t reference easily).

So it's not a record temperature, just a really hot temperature in a place that routinely sees really hot temperatures?

It's a heat record for a very hot location for this particular time of year (yesterday's record beat the previous record with 0.2C).

If Iran's anything like Europe (and I truly have no idea if it is) then the real heat won't hit until July.

Iran is a big place. Google says it's nearly as large as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California put together.

Death Valley is not the same thing as the US yanno.

Europe isn't that tiny either. Still, some weather phenomena seem to common for most of it. Including that July is generally the hottest month. :)

In average maybe, not in records. Highest temperatures are vary quite a lot since we measure temperatures in history.

How is that even possible? If we took time moving forward you’d be wrong till the end of time.
