    My condolences. The middle east is a friggin inferno this time of year. Visited a middle eastern country a few years ago and I did not know heat until I spent two weeks in the month of July down there.

    Was so fucking relieved when nighttime came and the temperatures lowered to 38C. :'D

    I legit don’t know how you guys deal with that heat. I’m in awe.

      I live in western Anatolia and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Arabs and Russians. In the eastern part of Turkiye’s Mediterranean region, people sometimes take aim at the sun and shoot because of the heat.

        Can’t blame them! I’ve never been to turkey, but have visited some of the Greek Islands very close to turkey and I love the nature there. Generally, I have a weakness for subtropical climates. The pale, brittle mountains and the herbs growing on them and scenting the air. It’s awesome. Still hot as hell, but very pretty. The place in the middle east I visited was 99% desert and murderous heat. I think one of the days we had 50C+ heat. It was like breathing in oven heat. 8’D
