I'm guessing the Island isn't getting any of this ?

can't you hear gunnair's whine from where you are?

The lower mainland ain't getting it either, only 16C with thunder storms moving through this evening.

It's been hot here the last few days but thankfully the humidity has been below 50% so it's actually been quite pleasant with cool breezes.

Send it west please! The weather was BS today. I thought it was April when I got up today.

[Curtman]

It's pretty f**king hot here.



We spent the day at the beach.

Got up to 29 here today and the humidity is ranging between 95% to 100%(pouring rain). Right now it's only 26 and raining heavy. You get used to the humidity pretty quick. last time we were home in the winter I got nose bleeds from the dry air.

Was it dry heat?

You're in Dubai right? BBC shows it as being quite dry with regards to humidity. Nice night time temps too. I've spent lots of time in Eilat, Israel and in SW Somalia and SE Ethiopia.... it's about the same, only drier. Night along the desert coasts(Eilat) are great. I prefer it to the 33 degree weather with 95 % humidity we get here. Taipei is even worse because they can hit 40 C with that humidity. I bet you that you'd be complaining about the cold while most Canadians were in shorts and t-shirts though.

Closet live feed I could find. And remember its past 6.00pm and about an hour of daylight left.

Still almost 37 C and 68% humidity

I find Dubai's weather is deceiving. I went through there this time last year (well, august), and despite the fact it was only 45 and 20% humidity, it felt way more humid then that. If I had to guess I would have put it at 70-80. I blame it on being by the ocean most of the time.
