When I came to Dubai I was told....
 
...that it rains about 5 times a year,

it was PISSING down last night and has rained about 10 times in the last 3 weeks,

I'm not complaining mind, but is this normal...?

Yeah normal, apart from when they 'make rain' using chemicals in the clouds.

But I believe the recent rains are natural, however they all seem to be at night or early morning which is strange.

I think it was sometime in December 2006 when it was raining for over 2 weeks straight.

it never used too, but the last 2 years have been terrible. I used to come out here for Christmas Hols and go home with a tan every year, not now, it's too cold!

Global warming, or the credit crunch. One "crisis" or another.

I've just been to the beach last Saturday, thank God no rain that day! It was cool yeah, but it seems like I didn't get a tan much either.
