Note: 53C = 127.4F !!

For the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region, it could be apocalypse time if temperatures rise as predicted. The region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world. Recent heatwaves gave us a glimpse of what we can expect, with a number of countries breaking temperature records. Kuwait, for example, recorded a temperature of 53.6 degrees Celsius in 2016. A year later Iran recorded the hottest official temperature in the region with 54 degrees. It's thought that by the end of the century, if the more dire predictions prove true, Makkah may not be habitable, placing the Muslims' obligatory Hajj pilgrimage at risk.
