Winter--is this IT?

This is it.

Enjoy it while it lasts...come July and August and September and October...you will be melting and looking forward to this again.

Hey.. I'm NOT complaining.  This weather is incredible--but I keep waiting for the 'boom' to fall.  Apparently it's not going to  YAY !!

Talk about stuffing my bags with long johns and having to deal with the dreaded "Oh-wait-till-the-cold-hits-in-and-then-your-bones-will-freeze" thing said in a smug tone... I still have my a/c on at home!!!

MS, is it anywhere near Dubai's 50 degrees and 197635% humidity where you would sweat like a (beep) from your car to your office?

Depends on where you are...here in Jubail, and along the coast in Dammam, Al-Khobar and Dharhan it is as brutal as Dubai or Abu Dhabi in July...possibly worse.

Riyadh...drier...but still like being in an oven.

Yep, got to agree with the oven comment.

One day last August, I was walking to my apt. through the compound and yes, it was blazing hot but the thing in Riyadh is that there is rarely any wind.

Now, in the US a breeze really helps on a hot day.

Anyway, I was walking down the street, and rounded a corner, and suddenly was struck in the face by a blast of heat that felt as though I'd just opened my oven to look in.

Well, if that's what they call a breeze in Riyadh, I'm  damned glad we rarely have any wind here
