Someone forgot to turn off the heater!

Well, I am referring to the weather here. Once out of the airport in doha, a wave of dry heat will just engulf you.. it is 38C at night. Well, at daytime, it can hit 40 - 45C nowadays. according to the arabs here, this early summer seems to be too early... thank God that today seems to be cooler - less than 40C. But strangely, we rarely sweat even though there are such high temperatures - a few reasons i guess-- 1. due to the extreme heat, we rarely stand around and chit chat in the sun. so what happens is people dashing in and out, to and from air con buildings and cars.. 2. the environment is dry, not humid like in singapore where you can feel sticky after walking for 15 mins (or at times, immediately after bathing!).. 3. due to the extreme heat, exercising is reduced (or eliminated? oh no.. it is really uncomfortable to jog in this kind of weather even at night.)

well, enough said. to better experience this, you have to come here to take a "feel". any takers? It will get hotter soon.. Most people are starting to plan their leave already...
