Exclamation What the HELL is going on????

OK, now this is really starting to freak me out....

Someone please remind me again, which hemisphere is Dubai in???? How can we possibly be experiencing summer temps in the middle of Feb???

Its ridiculous. We hit 95F today (35C), which is just shy of our all time record of 96F (36C)!!! This is insane!

Just look at our climate stats for Feb, so far this year and compare them to Feb of last year......





Winter, where have you gone? :scared:

I went to London and it was 22C, I came back and it was in the 30s.

I'll take the blame.

exactly Nov, I hear ya..... using the car air con in Feb is just unheard of, infact its absurd. I used it today too, when I went out today, I had to dress up like it was summer again, but its winter.

Someone has been messing with God's Weather System again. G.W, I blame u for worsening effects of global warming!

Global warming is good - by the time the temp averages 60C over here in summer - it'll be warm enough to live in NYC or London all year round

hmmmm....... interesting point, mate, I think! LOL

At this rate, we will see that 60C, summer average achieved within our lifetimes! :scared: Mind you though, summers in NYC are HOT as well, so 60C here could mean a 45C summer in NYC.

I am surprised that the media hasnt run a story on the winter heat-wave that the gulf is currently experiencing.

I am fine, thanks.


Guess I Am feeling a little nostalgic as well... the heat (and I cant believe I am using that word in Feb!!!) today, made me think of the past winters in Dubai and it also made me miss the cooler weather in London that I was enjoying uptil December of last year.

I hope it gets back to normal soon. It will be depressing if summer sets in this early in the year. :scared:
