Out of all of the countries in the middle east that I have been to, Kuwait was the hottest. During the day, one of the weather guys would announce the current temperature over the hand held radios. They would announce the temperature until it reached 135 degrees (57 celsius). After that, because our thermometers only went up to 135, they would make smart ass remarks like "it's real damn hot" or "it's hotter than hell" or "the current temperature is... You don't want to know".

I remember the first day I was there that it was that hot, a major came up to me when i just walked into "tent city" and he asked me what I was doing. I told him that I just got off duty. He said "good! Drop off your shit in your tent and go over to that big pile of sand. We have about 10,000 more sand bags to make". Two days later (after we had finished with the sand bags) it was july 4th and we had a BBQ. Hardly anyone ate anything. Not because it was too hot, though it was once again over 135 degrees. No one ate anything at the BBQ because it was the same thing we ate every day. Goats and camels that were purchased from local nomadic tribes and butchered every morning outside in a parking lot. it tasted like shoe leather and was tough like beef jerky. But that was a good TDY. No one got shot..
