A recent visit to a Middle Eastern country in Summer lead to some VERY high temperatures it apparently reached a top temperature of 48.5C...... or did it!! I later learnt from one of the people that I was with that there is a law where everyone can go home from work when the temperature reaches 49C. In order that no one ever gets the day off work the maximum temperature in the country is 48.5C when it goes above that figure the temperature becomes a “perceived temperature”. I understand that the airport had a temperature of 51C on that day of my visit but that the thermometers were wrong and in fact it was only 48.5C after all.
