As summer ends

Summer has come to an end in Dubai and we survived the heat!

Ok, so we cheated a little with our European Escapade but we did stick out 2 of the 3 months. It did get as hot as they said it would and also extremely humid. We're talking temperatures of up to 50 degrees C [unofficially, probably higher], and humidity levels of approx. 80-90%.


It basically felt like we were in an oven, but surprisingly we didn't find it unbearable or even all that unpleasant as almost every other expat we met had warned us it would be. Admittedly, we did not have to work in the heat - I still don't know how the thousands of labourers and construction workers do it - and most of the day we did spend indoors in air conditioning.

Anyhow, we are fast approaching winter and the temperatures have cooled off a little. The evenings are most pleasant when the mercury hovers around the high 20's while day temperatures are currently in the mid to high 30's.
