Believe you me garinda 6 months or more of constant sunshine isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Everything is dry and dusty and grass loses its freshness as it withers in the baking sunlight. You start to long for just a sprinkling of cool rain on your face and the fresh green look of the fields. I was in Bahrain for nearly two years and not a drop of rain did I see. The nearest we got to rain was one night in the middle of winter (down to 80 F) when there were a heavy overnight dew, which in itself was a rare occurrence.

Now with a depleted ozone layer allowing more UV rays through you can burn in no time and not realise it until the next morning when you wake up and the first move is agony - specially the young and old.
