It may have felt hot where you were on Thursday, but unless you spent time in Bandar Mahshahr, Iran, you have nothing to complain about.

The temperature there climbed to 109 degrees Fahrenheit, but the humidity made it "feel like" it was 154 degrees, meteorologist Anthony Sagliani tweeted. It cooled off a bit overnight, but on Friday morning at 6:30 a.m., it was already 88 degrees and feeling like 108, the Weather Channel reports. It's supposed to hit 116 degrees later in the day, so keep the people — and air conditioners — of Bandar Mahshahr in your thoughts.
