I lived in Texas before moving here almost 2 years ago; the temperature can be exactly the same during summer months, but the heat is just different here. I have not really acclimated and may never completely. Texas also got quite humid, but we had much more vegetation, namely, trees. Here it seems like there is just no cover, especially in the marina which is a cement park  What I have found after being here for a while, is that going back to cold climates I am a complete baby. I will wear a fur coat when it's only 40F when I go back home!

I agree... even the locals say that they just learn to live with it, so what hope have we got. Still would prefer 50 degrees dry heat to 35 degrees with humidity any day...

Glad to know it's only my age lol!!!
I"ve been back from the Uk for 4 days now and I still havent been out, and prior to going I was in the house for 9 days. Now you could be excused for thinking I'm still getting used to the heat but the fact is I've lived in the ME for 36 years. I'm not 'used to it now' the way people in the UK were saying to me last week. I was years ago but for the last 5 years I've found it tougher and tougher each summer. Its my age, and yours, and anyone else who I know thats finding the summers hard. It really is harder the older you get - or perhaps that should be the longer you're here.

My measurement in the garden in the Sun today reached 56 c degrees c and is the highest I have noticed over the past few weeks, highest prior was 55 c some days but humidity is still low compared to previous years.
I did not check the temp in the shade today.The lower the humidity the easier to cope.
The scale on mine only goes to 50c...I didn't think that through when I bought it!

Now that the rains have started in India, it will be more humid and unbearable. Not too bad yet. Ask again in August.

August would be hotter and definitely more humid.

Was stinking hot today.....drenched just walking into school from the car park for pick up.
How do all the other mum's manage to look so calm and collected and sweat free? I was quietly dripping in the corner hoping no one would notice me

Forecasters warned Wednesday of a steady increase in the already baking summer heat in the next couple of days across the emirates.
The increase in temperature, said the forecaster, is likely to continue at least until June 15 during which the weather will remain hot and hazy. There are, however, chances of some clouds developing over the eastern mountain areas.
Mercury has already shot up to 47 degree Celsius in the desert areas and 44 degrees, at times, in the coastal areas.
“We expect the daytime temperature between 44 and 48 degree Celsius, dropping down to 28 to 32 degree Celsius at night,” he said.
