Summer 2010

Summer is officially here!  Last June 21 was the summer solstice.  Or the time when the earth is most inclined to or away from the sun.  (please see wiki for explanation).   Well, I think we're way too close to the sun nowadays.

Yesterday and today gulf news reported that there is actually a heatwave going on in the middle east. Imagine having to endure 50C of heat on midday at summer, and I just read that in some areas it may reach up to 80C.  I was like, what?! 80 degrees (176F). It's nearly boiling point!  I think you can really fry an egg by the roadside  then.

I used to complain about the weather in the Philippines. But right now, Summer in the middle east is something else.  Enjoy the summer!
