Look ma, its over-easy!

Today it is 106 degrees in Dubai, but with the humidity, the real temp is 120. The Dubai stifling summer heat is sufficiently suppressing everything in its wake at this point. However, there are some tips that can help you go from absolutely miserable to only uncomfortable. Here are my tips for the week.

 

1. Walk don’t run!

You may think it is best to just high tail it from one place to another in order to lesson the amount of time you spend in the sun. Let me tell you, if you even do a brisk walk in this heat you start sweating uncontrollably and not be able to stop FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. Instead, try walking very smoothly without a lot of movement. Make sure you prepare yourself by getting out your keys or other necessary items before leaving the AC. That way you can lesson the amount of movements you have to make in the sun. Whatever you do, don’t start to speed up or wipe away any perspiration, which WILL happen, just continue with fluid continuous movements towards your destination.

2. Know your color wheel.
If you do sweat how bad will it show on your clothing? Read---light pink = disaster for work on the summer. Black? It may be hot, but at least other people won’t know that your back looks like someone took a super-soaker to it! White? Only if you are wearing a nude tank underneath. Must I go on?

3. Will it explode?
Did you know that after a certain heat point pretty much ANYTHING will explode? Water bottles will burst, perfume bottles crack in half, toothpaste shoot out like Old Faithful, IPODs crack on the sides…anything is possible. Do yourself a favor and take EVERYTHING out of your car before May.


Tata for now.
