I don't have a clue what the dew point was. I don't doubt it's miserable. I'm not trying to downplay it. It's very possible this summer is hotter than the '04 summer there. I don't know honestly.
I know it felt like when you open the oven to check food. The heatwave just punches you in the face.
I remember many mornings being up between 2-5 am and it was extremely foggy.

Fair enough, who cares? My point still stands. If 159 is a true number, and I don't know that it is, that is seemingly otherworldly...
Even better, I'm drunk, and the heat is going to suck even worse tomorrow. YAY...

Yep. I grew up in Louisiana, and when I stepped off the plane in Qatar mid summer, it was a shock. It was hotter in Afghanistan at times, but I've never experienced heat and humidity like Qatar.

The highest dewpoint temperature I remember seeing at New Orleans International airport ASOS is 81 F. That happens maybe once in three or four years during the summer.

I had a roommate who served in Baghdad and he said he hotter than you can imagine
It easily reaches 100 degrees by 6am.
Served in Baghdad twice, Kirkuk once. I don't ever want to go back.
At least here in Afghanistan it rains from time to time.

Real talk, I wasnt a pog. I didn't get the option of r&r in Qatar.

Arifjan and KNB both sucked balls hot. Especially the humidity at KNB
Q-west was hellish hot at 120+
Riyadh was burst-into-flames hot at 125+
Glad I'm never going back to that oven

But it's a dry heat
Doesn;t it take some humidity to get the heat index higher than air temp??
