Roasting on low heat

Here's the weather forecast for the next 10 days in Ad Dammam (the largest city in the Eastern Province, about 40 minutes from where we live):

(The windy part is actually worse: it's like when you receive a current of hot air in the face in the sauna)

Let's try and look at the positive side of such a weather:

You jump straight into the pool without even thinking about it: it will feel nice and warm, whatever the time of day (or night!)  

Downside: the water can get so hot it won't even feel nice

You never need to check the weather outside to know how to dress in the morning.

Downside: you still have to think before getting dressed: are you going to a cold air-conditioned place? Will you have to keep your abaya on? (if so, you usually dress very lightly underneath, but then if you go to a Saudi friend and have to take it off, you have to make sure you're properly dressed!)

You don't need to wait outside the shower until the water gets warm: even the cold water is already warm as it comes out of the tap. 

Downside: it also comes warm out of the kitchen tap, so if you want to clean vegetables or unfreeze fish, it will start cooking!

It's very easy to follow the doctors' recommendations and drink 3 liters of water a day (sometimes I even drink 4 without even noticing). 

Downside: this water has got to come out somehow!

When working out at the gym, you sweat so much it makes you feel good about your effort. 

Downside: it's just an illusion!

See, nothing's perfect! Wherever you are, try and enjoy the weather, may it be cold or hot, rainy or sunny, cause one of these days you might just end up missing it! (although I don't miss the rain of my native Vendée yet!)
