Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image, acquired on 25 May 2021 by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, shows Qatar and part of the United Arab Emirates in the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabian Peninsula and in particular Qatar are affected by a severe heatwave. On the day on which this image was acquired, Qatar experienced the hottest day on record for the month of May. According to the data published by the Qatar Meteorology Department, a record temperature of 48.1°C was reached in Abu Samra, breaking the previous monthly record set in 1986. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission consists of twin satellites, Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B, which can measure thermal parameters for both terrestrial and marine environments. This allows to derive information such as land surface temperatures over periods of time and compare them from year to year.
