In the summer, thats basically most of the year, AC is a way of life...cant live without it. Tempratures go upto 48 degrees C roughly 120 F but its really nice around this time of the year so mostly with windows down and sun roof open.

This is Dubai,UAE:

Back in 1970 when I left Vietnam I was stationed on a aricraft carrier and we did a around the world cruise. We went into the Arabian Sea,then headed south to the Seychelles then thru the Mozambique channel. Stopped in Cape Town. then sailed up the Atlantic Coast of Africa and crossed over north of the equator and went thru the Panama Canal and back to Calfornia. As I remenber it was September we were in the Arabian Sea area and even at sea it was hot. Any speed limits in your emrit? Pictures were very nice, the ocean in that part of the world is so beautiful, that bluish green color. One other thing I sort of remember it was hot but the humidity was low?

Dubai is a coastal city i think.

when i was working in jubail, the humidity was so high on a certain part of the year that the sweat flows out from your body even if you're just standing on the shade.

very nice feeling... and no need to go for sauna.

Sleepwalker:

Dubai as well as the other UAE are more like cities then counties? Under one leader? By the way you are correct, I have a chronic back problem from having a benign tumor removed from my spine 3 plus years ago, and suffer from Failed Back Syndrome and I am in chronic pain 24/7 the last couple days has been awful and I load up on meds and my minds gets a bit mixed up. sway bars are sway bars and roll bars are of course for roll overs, C280 Wizard, aka Al.

I don't know what I would do without you, checking my mail. Thanks for clearin up a obvious mistake.
