Kuwait is considered the hottest country in the world, with average temperatures of around 45ºC during the summer, and 20ºC in the winter. Even at night, during the hottest months, the temperature rarely drops below 30ºC. This extreme heat has caused the death of birds, which fall from the sky in mid-flight, and dead seahorses have even appeared on the banks of the waters, reports this Friday. The Sun.

Reports from residents claim that even pigeons have been flying in large groups to create waves of coolness.

The episodes are so recurrent that, at the beginning of this year, the Kuwaiti Government allowed funerals to be held at night so that residents can escape the biggest waves of corns during the day.

The heat is so much that the presence of air conditioning on the streets has become normal in Kuwait. The cooling system is essential inside and outside buildings.

It was in Kuwait that the third highest temperature ever recorded was reached: 54ºC.

According to science, humans can survive heat and humidity up to 76ºC, but 50ºC dictates the time at which the body begins to show signs of extreme weakness.
