The
Iranian city of Ahvaz shattered national regional temperatures records on
Thursday (June 29) when the heat rose to 128.7 degrees Fahrenheit, the hottest
in Iran’s history. The temperature was also a record for June heat in the Asian
mainland. Some reports put the temperature at 129.2 degrees Fahrenheit, which,
if, true, would tie the record for hottest temperature recorded in modern
times, outdone only by the 134 degrees Fahrenheit recorded in Death Valley,
California, in 1913. And some experts today doubt that reading, according to
USA Today. https://sptnkne.ws/eMFW
In astro-meteorology, charts for Moon phases are used routinely
for understanding weather conditions. At Ahvaz, Iran the current New Moon is
conjunct Mars and the star Sirius on the Ascendant.
Death Valley's Furnace Creek holds the record for the
highest reliably recorded air temperature in the world, 134 °F (56.7 °C) on
July 10, 1913. On July 7, 2013, the Sun was conjunct the Dog Star Sirius and
placed on the Ascendant as the Moon reached its Crescent Phase.
In both cases, the star Sirius is the common factor.
"The brilliant
constellation of the Dog: it barks forth flame, raves with its fire, and
doubles the burning heat of the Sun. When it put its torch to the earth and
discharges its rays, the earth foresees its conflagration and tastes its
ultimate fate [translator's note: the ecpyrosis of the Stoics, who held that
the Universe would ultimately be engulfed in conflagration and all things would
return to the condition of primeval fire." [Manilius, Astronomica, 1st
century AD, book 5, p.316-319].
