Summer's coming!
Summer
Yesterday, some time around 3.30 in the afternoon, summer returned to Dubai.
For weeks, the weather has be growing steadily more idyllic, hot, dry days softening into balmy nights, perfect for sitting under the stars with a cold beer in hand, for gathering friends old and new around a table and a barbecue.
Yesterday started little different, already warm at 6.30 when I took the dog out for her morning ablutions. Still, dry air, portending a glorious day to come.
Even the drive to work seemed easier, the usual blanket of smog largely absent, and all of Dubai’s burgeoning skyline glistening in the early sun.
No change at lunchtime, a hot day, the car temperature indicator surging to 43C and reminding me I really, really must get the A/C serviced…
And then it all changed.
This was the first wave of tropical ocean air of the year to come rolling across the Emirate, fitful gusts of steamy damp, making shirts and jeans cling like wet rags, and the wearer want for breath.
Everything is clammy and slick, clothes no longer dry on the line, but the garden thrives. There will be another couple of months of this, getting progressively hotter and more humid, before the full force of summer arrives and we all retreat into the temperature controlled lifestyle that is our annual inversion.
