The weather
I'm British. We're supposed to discuss the weather!
How vile is it in the UAE today? From my window it looks horidly grey, it's windy and still a few drops of rain every now and then. It looks as if it ought to be chilly, but you go outside and it's hot and sticky.
I don't like it, although part of me is secretly hoping it's grotty tomorrow so I can slump on my sofa and watch films without feeling guilty.

Re: The weather
I like it - it's different. Also means summer is just around the corner - which I love.

Re: The weather
I'd like to accept the blame and say I brought it with me when I landed on Tuesday morning, but the weather over the last few weeks in England has actually been pretty terrific. I was even getting a base tan.

We've stayed here in summer for the last seven years, same again this year.

Re: The weather
Just a wierd one today... looks "nice" (ie "cool") but when you get outside it's still that foreboding heat. [heart sinks]

Re: The weather
It's been lovely in the UK this past week and a half. It was in the low 20s and clear skies last weekend.
Not really looking forward to being hit by the humidity when I get back though.
