45 degrees and 95% humidity - didn't know that this exists

Dear readers,

Summertime in Oman is really breaking records for me.
A few days back was one of the most horrible weather situation that I experienced in my life. Even my trip to the rainforest in Australia could not prepare me for this.

45°C at 95% humidity

To give you some examples what that means:
  • The very second you leave an air conditioned building during the day, your sun glasses are foggy
  • Within 20 seconds between the door of the building and your car, your skin is covered with drops of sweat
  • Playing football is like exercising in a sauna
  • At the end of the day, there is no difference between dry and wet
Luckily, these conditions only remained for 2 days and we have already reached the middle of the summer :-)

Take care
Hajo
