thawing season begins

Date: March 31st

Time: 1:30 pm

Weather: Sunny (blue skies), little wind

Temperature: 38C (100F)

Sounds unbearable, I know, but since the humidity is still low everyone can walk normally outside and not melt.

Once M and I had a conversation on our way to work. I told him that it’s already getting hotter at midday but surprisingly, somehow I still feel ok.

“It’s only because you are staying inside an airconditioned office. But I don’t know if the laborers working outside feels ok about this heat and it’s still March.”, he replied.

The heat outside didn’t seem to bother me because my body is too cold (from the freezing aircon setting in the office) to feel it and I don’t go out for more than 10 minutes. So today, I walked outside for 30 minutes and knew that the real deal hot summer is finally greeting us desert dwellers hello.

Morning and night temperature is still very comfortable at 24C. Right now, it’s only the midday heat we have to deal with.
