blazing sun

Oppressively bright star

A blazing sun is intensely bright and hot, radiating fierce heat.

The phrase typically describes summer midday conditions or desert climates: We worked in the fields under a blazing sun.

Blazing emphasizes the sun's fire-like quality—relentless, punishing, impossible to ignore.
