country of Kuwait in late May and early June 2000.

Weather Discussion wrote on June 5, 2000, "A whirling
sandstorm hit Kuwait City Sunday night into Monday. Just a day after
reaching 120 degrees, a front
blew through the Persian Gulf port capital kicking up dust and sand
and reducing visibilities to under 1 mile at times. The front did
little to break the heat though. Monday's high temperature still was
110 degrees.
Although temperatures over
120 were reported at least once by news sources, the official Kuwait
City weather station only got up to 118.
See official observations below (June 5 is at bottom), which also show
the dust storm (BD = Blowing Dust) mentioned above.
