I will start off by saying that I am so thankful that God made man smart enough to figure out how to make air conditioners! If we did not have an awesome A/C unit in our house, this Texas Chic would be a melted puddle on the floor! LOL
I went outside just a little while ago and I am wearing a pair of dangling metal earrings. Well within 5 seconds, maybe less, my earrings were hot enough to feel like they could burn my neck. This is no exaggeration friends! I turned my head and one of them touched my neck, which I quickly responded with "ouch!...Omg that is HOT!". Then I turned my head the other way to get away from the first scorch and was then immediately scorched on the other side but the other earring...LOL! YOW!! According to my weather app on my phone it is currently 111 F at 2pm. It will probably get a little hotter before the day is done!
I was browsing a forum that I have found to be very helpful for expats new to Abu Dhabi and found this list of "Top 20 Signs When You Know the Weather is Really HOT in the UAE!" (Of course, I think that some of these on this list could apply to back home in Texas too!!) I hope you have a little laugh at these because I know you can relate!
You know it is really hot in the UAE when....
1. You burn your hand on the car handle.. or steering wheel!
2. When you can't get in your car as the heat takes your breathe away!
3. When the cold water tap runs hot!
4. When children scream and make a U turn back indoors after running barefooted outside!
5. When people get angry and start arguing more often-they just want to be out of the heat!
6. When laundry dries within a few minutes.
7. When chocolate is liquefied before reaching home.
8. When you buy extra bottled water
9. When you go outside and the fire alarm goes off (hehe)
10. When you keep the a/c open all day
11. When standing outside becomes unbearable
12. When the Corniche is empty even after 5 pm
13. When your pool water starts to boil in the sun
14. When the best parking space is determined by shade not by distance
15. When it is summer vacation time and not one person is out on the streets
16. When you start to wish you had bought cloth seats and not leather.
17. When you need a spatula to remove your clothing
18. When you get branded by your seat-belt.
19. When your children refuse to get in the car
20. When you see a dog chasing a cat and they are both walking.
