Weather:
'Everyday; hot 'n' sunny...ain't that neat?!', Bill Hicks. Well, Bill was talking about L.A. and what a fake, 'neat' place it is. Well - if you've jsut come from the UK and you were anticipating the usual grey 5 months ahead, Dubai's autumn temperatures are just what the good doctor ordered. We arrived early November, and it's been around 30 degrees C every day, sunny and perfect. Sure - after a few months, we'll prob yearn for a cold frosty morning; solution? Go to the Ski Dubai - ONLY JOKING!
Apparently - you DO get fog some mornings (hence the horrible 200-car pile-up), and the pollution varies in visibility, but generally it's awfully nice to wake up to sunny, blue skies, when you come from a country where blue in the sky is a rarity.
The sun sets and rises ar around 6am and 6pm, which is actually ok, because the whole place looks 10 times better at night, when you can't really see the cranes, the sand, the barren building sites, or the pollution!
We have arrived at the right time of year; the temperature is gradually going slightly downwards, and then upwards towards the hell that is summer in the UAE. 50 degrees and humid is not something we look forward to!
