Dubai Summer Scorcher on the way!

“Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat” ~ Unknown

As summer makes it presence felt stronger day by day, 7 days reported that the summer would compensate for the unusual cold winter and long rainy spells with a double dosage of summer heat. It was reported that:

"....this summer’s going to be roasting. Ok, tell us something we don’t know. But while we’re all aware that summers here are extremely hot, according to a UAE forecaster, this one coming will see temperatures up to four degrees hotter than last year. With a maximum temperature of 49.7 degrees recorded in the country last summer that could mean a potentially sweltering 53.7 degrees."

The article also elaborated: "A recent UN report blamed human activity for global warming and climate change and predicted a rise in natural disasters. Last night the Dubai Met Office were unable to comment on the weather for this summer saying they are only able to sensibly make five-day predictions."

Time to stock up on some Vimto and Tang to experiment making some refreshing summer thirst quenchers. Stock up on your sun tans too!
