simply surreal

Unbelievably cold today morning when I went out at 8 a.m. Humidity coupled with sudden plunge in early morning temperature down to at least 17C and the whole city is enveloped in fog! 17C is pretty cool, refreshing really. I didn’t have to sweat while walking for 15 minutes to work.

By 7 am, visibility in Dubai was just 100 meters although by 8:30 am it had improved to 1,000 meters and by mid-morning, the fog had largely cleared. At lunchtime, the searing 27C is on again and I am back walking in the street armed with my umbrella and sunglasses on.
