Turkey sets new record of 50.5 degrees as Europe swelters – DW – 07/27/2025
Turkey's Environment Ministry said meteorologists had registered a reading of 50.5 degrees Celsius (122.9 degrees Fahrenheit) in the southeast of the country, setting a nationwide record.
The record temperature was registered on Friday at Silopi, the ministry said in a post on X on Saturday.
Silopi is 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Turkey's borders with Iraq and Syria.
The previous heat record, registered in August 2023, was 49.5 degrees Celsius.
Winter is dying. It used to get very cold, now it gets mildly cold. I think in another decade or two there will be no more winters.
Mosquitos and snow disappear. Conspiracy idiots around me still don't believe that climate change and pollution exists.
I rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
Mosquitos are worse at my camp in the swamp. The tiny ponds dried up, killed the dragonfly larva, no dragonflies this year. Leaving in a bit to lay traps.
Global warming causes weather events to intensify. >Fall and spring< are dying first. While there will be more mild winters as it goes, when we do get winters they will come with record lows and record snowfall -like that one in Texas.
As winters die out, (wet season) Hurricane season will lengthen, and then we will lose winter as everything becomes more....tropical. The world will shift to what the tropics are used to - hot season and rainy season. With warming powering them, hurricanes will be monsterously large.
My town broke Florida's all-time record for snow last winter, 10" from mid-morning till near sundown That's a direct result of hot air from the other side of the planet slamming the polar vortex.
Canada just had a record winter, global warming makes extremes more extreme
No it's a warming of the planet with extreme weather events.
If you think winter is going to get colder, you're wrong.you might get more blizzards and storms, but global warming means the planet gets WARMER overall (which is part of what causes the extreme weather events).
Winter is not coming
Oh winter is coming.
It's just going to take a while, but it will come.
And it will either be a nuclear winter or an ice age. Yay!
If the golf stream shuts down, it will be coming back hard.
