Riyadh is above 40C from May to October, and above 45C for July & August. Every year.
Maximum official shade temperatures are close to 49C for days, up to a week or two. Hotter on the street. It's at some elevation, so it will never win the record high.
I used to walk 2k to work, and back, each day, then run 5k on the evening, when it would often be 43C at 7pm.
