DXB temp > 50 deg C?

Posted by Green Guard :
40 deg C on ~2000 feet MSL is "hot an high" airport ??
and should not be used by unwary....?

PS no1. Dubai with sooooo many flights per summer days, even if at ~MSL,
but >50 deg C.....is OK for "unwary pilots" ??
PS
one should worry about hot or high or both "hot and high" RWY,
only before T/O.

For Landing the only difference may be longer run...but not limiting factor in this case, Right ?
Wow, utter hogwash. DXB has never had temperatures above 50 deg C and I guess someone was sleeping during the met and performance classes.
