and in Egypt!
The month of August was the hottest in 40 years in Egypt, with temperatures of 45°C during the day, and 30°C at night. At times, it was unbearable but we survived elhamdulilah. If you have not experienced it yourself, it is hard to explain how hot it was. But I will give it a try anyway: it was so hot that...
-the cold water in your shower was warm
-the wind felt like a hair dryer on the warmest stand
-even if you were only sitting outside, your heart was beating like you were running, and your hair got wet from sweating
-when you took the laundry inside from the balcony, the clothes felt super warm, like they were standing next to a fire
-we had several power cuts because too many people were using air condition (no power at home= no air condition, no fan, no fridge, and no cold water to cool off. no power at work = no internet, no computer, no telephone a.k.a. impossible to work)
-you got physically ill (it makes you nauseous and it messes up your hormones)
Nevertheless, we could still take some pictures of recently enjoyed things, and I am sure we will miss the heat when the cold winter months arrive!
