China logs 52.2 Celsius as extreme weather rewrites records
A remote township in China's arid northwest endured temperatures of more than 52 Celsius (126 Fahrenheit) on Sunday, state media reported, setting a record for a country that was battling minus 50C weather just six months ago.

Maybe a stupid question, but is this measured in the sun or shade?
Temperature reports like this always use in-the-shade measurements. You can get much higher temps when measuring in direct sunlight, like easily 100C+, depending on the material of your measuring device.
Thanks. So the 60 degrees in Spain were also in-shade. That is truly messed up.
If politicians didn’t reassure us frequently there is nothing going on I’d really start to think we are in real trouble.
60deg in Spain was ground surface temp not air temp, air temp was like 40deg.
I love that last paragraph lmao, imma steal that
Nice. You have my blessing!
