Patches of intense heat persists into the astronomical autumn in Middle East:
Today the Minimum temperature in the coastal Iranian town of Kharg was 33.0C.
Some stations have never recorded a night minimum below 30C yet, since the beginning of summer.
Every year is more brutal.

So easy to forget that record temperatures aren't just air temperature. If it's 40C that's one thing but if you add humidity, it's deadly.

More records hottest nights today include
Tmin 32.6 Chibi (Hubei Province)
32.0 Yueyang (Hunan Province).
Heat indexes exceed 50C even at night !
