“It touched 50.5 degree Celsius and lasted for around half-an-hour in Swaihan in Abu Dhabi,” their spokesperson reportedly said. “It’s the highest temperature recorded in 2015.”
He explained that the temperature will remain between 49 and 50 degree celsius, adding that it will continue to be hot over the next few days.
