After the rain

Ok, so exactly what is the official wading depth of a Boxster?

Following last night's rain, Al Qoz is peppered with 'water ponds', roads flooded across their width and deeper than the kerbstones. Who knows what potholes lurk beneath to trap the unwary!

Drier now, though, but some debate as to when the next rain will fall. Weather Channel says tomorrow, Dubai Met Office say tonight, the National Center for Siesmology and Meteorology reckon somewhere in the wee small hours of the morning. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Sitting in the garden, watching the lightning show illuminating the clouds from within was awesome, as always, as was the biblical rain that followed. How does all that water get up there in the first place?

But right now, sunny and dusty, no obvious clouds, and only a little movement in the air. Roll on tomorrow!
