Definitely. It's my third and they all seem to get cooler, but this year I've definitely not seen the high 40's, low 50's that I did year before last.

Would kinda agree, although I do think you get more tolerant of the heat as your tenure goes on. I'm on my 6th now and although it has been toasty (I am outside a lot, and sometimes for a good few hours) it hasn't been unbearable.

There has defiantly been less in the way of sun glasses steaming so far, however, the most humid time is yet to land I fear.

The weather is certainly changing now though as I have been picking up chest infections and colds the last 2 weeks.

Good points, I've not had many glasses issues. Only a few evenings I've gone for a burner on the balcony and instantly regretted it...

I was here all summer and it felt as hot as usual. For Ramadan we were barely outdoors during the day so missed out on the worst of it.

only a couple of time did the thermometer on my car go over 40 degrees, we were at the pool most days during Ramadan as well, I had my cousin visiting from the UK, even she coped with the temps.

Please don't tell me you take notice of a car thermometer?

yes and the one in the garden in the shade my car one is pretty good, plus I don't need a thermometer to tell you this summer was cooler than previous ones.

we've had humidity the last couple weeks up into high 90%s+ and temps in high 30s, low 40s, but Ramadhan & Eid were awesome - even dropped to 20s in daytime....!

Sigh.
I think i did tackle this subject with you before when i put a question to you and you disappeared in thin air. My question was why your law is against incest relationships!! Isn't that a kind of obcession with who sleeps with whom!!
