Water temperatures have reached 95 degrees
Heat indexes along the shores of the Persian Gulf were simulated to reach over 132 degrees Thursday.
Some locations have seen the heat index, or how it feels when factoring in the humidity, reach 140 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, fueled by an intense heat dome, the warmest water temperatures in the world, and the influence of human-caused climate change. The maximum air temperatures this week — generally between 105 and 115 — have only been somewhat above normal. But the dew points — which are a measure of humidity — have been excessive, climbing well into the 80s. In the United States, any dew point over 70 degrees is considered uncomfortably humid.
Largely because of the high humidity, nighttime minimum temperatures have also remained exceptionally warm, in many cases staying above 85.
