The temperature in Pheonix has almost reached a record-breaking 122 °F (50 °C) recorded on June 26, 1990, and it's becoming harder and harder to escape the insane heat. The flights are being cancelled, and things are literally melting.
Today it's up to 116 °F (47 °C), and 168 °F (76°C) on the concrete. To illustrate just how bad the situation is we have collected some shocking images of things melting in Arizona.

Kudos to you for appreciating the sound of vinyl! Hope you can get that replaced.
And here I am in Zurich, Switzerland, diying with 32 degrees (i have every day migraine headache because of the heat) and you all have to live in the hell.
I'm in Seattle and it's the same. Heat wave at 32; the news advises people to stay indoors.

Zena, Dubai is at sea level, and Phoenix Arizona is 1,086 ft (331 m) higher, which means it has a less normal dense atmosphere. The denser the atmosphere, the more light is reflected back into space. In Phoenix morning and afternoon light can be more easily 'refracted', or concentrated by the sun's rays. This is less a problem at sea level where the atmosphere is denser. You can accomplish the same thing by using an automobile's glass, or a magnifying glass.
