08 JULY 2003

At 3 p.m. on 8 July 2003, the city of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia experienced a dewpoint temperature of 35°C (95°F) accompanied by a dry-bulb air temperature of 42°C (108°F). This resulted in a total heat index (aka apparent temperature, or the temperature “it feels like” to the human body) of 81.1°C (178°F).

Air conditioning, they cool their buildings almost the same as we heat all of ours in winter and it's seen as a necessity.

And all those a/c units duly pump all their excess heat and GHGs out into the environment?
