There was reportedly rain in Al Ain yesterday and residents in some parts of the UAE, especially in Dubai began to enjoy more pleasant conditions. The weather bureau says the worst of summer is over.
Since Saturday, the winds have become cooler and my sweating has mellowed down. But if I tell you the actual environmental figures, you will think I am crazy. I’ll tell you anyway.
As I walked to work this morning thanking my lucky stars for the mild weather, I saw the huge digital board over at Salahuddin Road reading 35C (95F). My friends back in Japan thinks I am strange to think 35C is cool. But if you have been used to temperatures over 40′s everyday, you will truly know that my description of the current desert weather situation is justifiable.

That’s great news! I wish it was getting cooler here. It doesn’t help that our AC broke. It was 97F degrees in our living room this morning! Yikes!
You are right~! Hot/Cold is relative!
It depends what you have gotten accustom too!
here its still 30C most of the time, but the breeze is getting cooler everyday… my fave season is coming

I actually slept with the ac off last night for the first time all summer! It’s been a bit cloudier lately too. I’m not expecting any rain for a few more weeks at least (and that will probably be more of a tease than real rain), but it does feel like we’ve turned a corner.
That is just too, too hot! Wishing you cooler temperatures and a little rain to cool your days.
that’s a relief… 35C is much better than 40C!
congratulations on surviving your first dubai summer.
