Traffic cones melted in the searing heat as temperatures reached a sweltering 50ºC.

A row of them that had gone all floppy was seen in the middle of a road.

The cones were spotted on an arid road in Kuwait.

The searing heat has affected other Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Over 1,300 Muslims have reportedly died during the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.

Heat stress and organ failure have been the cause of many of the deaths.

The Saudi authorities emphasised that “83 per cent of the victims did not have permits, meaning they were exposed to long distances and periods under the sun without shelter”.

In the UAE, doctors have urged residents to take precautions during the ongoing heatwave.

Dr Karthikeyan Chinniah, consultant at the Lifecare Hospital in Abu Dhabi, said: “Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day.

“And allow your body time to acclimate to hot weather before engaging in strenuous activities.

“Wearing loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing, and using sunscreen and sunglasses can also help protect against the sun.”

He added: “It is essential to consume enough water to stay sufficiently hydrated.”

Iraq, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan have also endured high temperatures in recent weeks.

The situation has been worsened by rolling power cuts, as reported by Need To Know.
