If you're thinking of a holiday destination to get somewhere sunny, then thanks to catastrophic climate change the world really is your oyster.

For some reason, these past couple of weeks in the UK during what should have been the height of summer, we've seen cloudy skies and even some downpours of rain one might describe as 'torrential'.

It seems to be lightening up a bit in this part of the world, which is theoretically a nice thing to happen, but there's a reason why plenty of Brits like to get away for the summer.

However, there is such a thing as 'too hot' when it comes to the weather as just looking at the forecast for this place over the next couple of weeks, their chilliest day for the rest of July will see it be 32C at the coldest point and 42C at the warmest.

This is Kuwait City, the hottest city in the world where it has actually managed to rank alongside some of the hottest places anywhere on our planet at times.

If you popped over to Death Valley this week, you'd find it only slightly hotter than Kuwait City, now imagine a city of over three million people living in such conditions.

According to the Mirror, the temperatures are so high that the local wildlife simply can't cope, as they report of 'birds falling dead from the sky' and 'seahorses boiling in the bay'.

Of course, such scorching temperatures are also incredibly dangerous for humans as well if you don't take the proper precautions - and even then it's a challenge.

Dehydration, heat exhaustion and a plethora of other problems brought on by high temperatures bombard the city.

Over here in the UK, we'd consider 30C to be cause for concern and be thinking that it's time to find shade, cool air and a good supply of water while keeping an eye on the more vulnerable like elderly relatives.

Parts of the world which have to endure such punishing heat inevitably have to find ways to adapt to it.

According to phys.org, some locals have started planting trees to cool down the sun-scorched ground, and the country uses a lot of its energy consumption to keep air conditioning on near-constantly.

Some of the main symptoms of heatstroke include:

  • Feeling unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water
  • Not sweating even while feeling too hot
  • A temperature of 40C or above
  • Fast breathing/heartbeat or shortness of breath
  • Feeling confused
  • Seizures
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Unresponsiveness
  • Newlywed dies on honeymoon after being hit by lightning bolt while stood in sea during freak incident
