Al Ain Rain

When we arrived we really didn’t expect to see much rain at all; at least not until winter as in Doha. Since June we have a number of light summer showers (but only ever lasting 10-15 minutes) and then earlier this week we actually had a few storms that provided a distraction from the normal hot sunny afternoons. Strange that it rains here during summer but not being science minded I guess it all makes sense due to the mountains or something. I wonder if it will be as wet and cold here in winter as it was in Doha.

Al Ain gets freezing in the winter...sheepskin jackets et al! And don't forget the chilly breeze as well...I mean CHILLY! :)
