Summer can be a tad bit extreme in some parts of Saudi Arabia and as climate change continues to worsen its impact, these places are facing even warmer-than-ever-before summers.

Arafat just witnessed the highest temperature recorded in history

The holy site, where Muslims gather during Hajj, recorded 50 degrees on Sunday – according to an Arab weather site.
