Heat indexes in the Persian Gulf surpass 132 degrees, felt up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit with extreme humidity, a result of a heat dome, warm water temperatures, and climate change.
Dew points well into the 80s in the Persian Gulf lead to heat indexes soaring 30 degrees above actual air temperatures, with nighttime temperatures staying exceptionally warm above 85.
Sea surface temperatures in the Persian Gulf as warm as 95 degrees contribute to the extreme humidity levels, making it the warmest water globally.
