World record hottest overnight low temperature: 111°F in Oman on June 17
As we reported on Monday, it’s been a remarkable few weeks for heat in the Middle East and Southwest Asia, with three nations—Pakistan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates—setting their all-time hottest temperature records between May 28 and June 16, 2017. To add to the list of extraordinary recent heat events there, we now have a world record for hottest overnight low temperature: a minimum temperature of 111.6°F (44.2°C) recorded on the morning of June 17, 2017 at Khasab, Oman, located on the Persian Gulf. According to Herrera, the incredible overnight heat was made possible by a strong foehn wind that was blowing downslope from a mountain that Khasab sits at the base of. Descending winds heat up the air by compression as it is forced downward, and many all-time record warm temperatures are set during foehn events.
The previous world record for hottest nighttime low temperature was 107.4°F (41.9°C) on 27 June 2011—also recorded at Khasab. Khasab Airport also holds the record of highest minimum temperature in 24 hours (from 7am to 7am) with 107.4°F (41.9°C) on 27 June 2011, which was also the previous nighttime world record. Thanks go to Dr. Michael Theusner of Klimahaus for alerting us to the new record at Khasab.
