You know it's summer when...
Your sunglasses steam up as soon as you set foot outside.
Your cats get as far as the door and come straight back in claiming it's too hot to go out in a fur coat.
Your suggestions?

Re: You know it's summer when...
the ac decides to conk out
the ac overheats and conks out repeatedly
the ac barely copes
you burn your arse and hands when you get in the car
the gardener water the lawn at 4.00am
the streets are like some kind of post apocalyptic post human scene around midday
you visit a client with no nearby parking and spend the first 10 minutes of the meeting dripping onto the conference table, nobody however minds as your not alone in doing this
your hear other countries/ nationalities talking about the heat and you just laugh
driving your landrover becomes a real high pressure adventure when breaking down could mean hours stuck in the heat with no ac
lastly you know its summer when the devil has moved to beirut for the season

Timed to perfection, all our a/c packed up, to be fair I was in UK so it wasn't a huge issue for me. But the wife was not to happy trying to deal the muppets who service a/c on the palm. 8 days to fix.
I almost became single when she was ranting down the phone repeating the engineers comment 'but ma'am, your apartment is still not as hot as some of the others'. I laughed, schoolboy error.
Roll on Ramadan.
