Time really flies... it's now May. Another 2 months to go before I return to Malaysia. The weather now is mostly around 40degC during the day time. Some parts of UAE has even reached 44 degC. The newspaper yesterday announced that with this, the summer has arrived! It is indeed feeling hot in the afternoon but the weather is still dry and thus bearable. Anyway, here are some tips from the Gulf News on protecting yourself from the blazing sun:

• Have plenty to drink, do not wait until you are thirsty.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses. - Hmmm.... I don't have any sunglasses.
• Use plenty of high-factor sun cream, especially if you are light-skinned. - Need to remember to get some from the town this weekend.
• Do not work in the open during the hottest part of the day.
• Take frequent breaks in the shade.
• If you stop sweating go for a check-up, as sweating is the body's mechanism for keeping cool.
• If you suspect sunstroke, don't ignore it.
