this is one of my pet hates, highest temp ever recorded in turkey is 48.8 and highest ever in the world was 56. something... oC
Temp in direct sun may be a lot higher, up to 50-60oc but air temp, the stuff that surrounds you and you breathe in, is rarely higher than 43.ish.
in winter, would you stick a thermometer under a lamp and say thats the temperature?
so far this year, the highest it has been is 38oC and that was last week. 
here's a useful site, recorded temps every hour, accurate. http://www.meteoprog.in/en/fwarchive/Fethiye/ x
OMG Miss Danni! I LOVE you for this link! Thank you! I am also a nerd when it comes to weather ......... rather boringly so I'm afraid.
