    The document provides environmental design data for electrical equipment at an oil facility in a hot and humid climate. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 50°C with peak shade temperatures of 82°C. Outdoor electrical equipment must be designed to operate at 55°C and indoor equipment at 40°C in case of lost air conditioning. The soil reaches 38°C at a depth of 65cm. Relative humidity varies from 30% to 98%. Wind gusts can reach 34 m/s and sandstorms are frequent and severe. Solar radiation can be as high as 1.2 kW/m2.
