The display panel near Star Cinema signal in Ruwi showed 46 degrees centigrade at 1.30pm today. At this rate, it looks like, this year, Muscateers are in for a sweltering summer, and the magical figure of 50 is just four degrees away. All said and done, spare a thought for the construction workers who toil in these terrible conditions to eke out a living. I am falling short of words to describe their plight.

Meanwhile, the Yahoo weather forecast (below) is no where near the actual weather conditions. Their highs for the day are hovering around 30s, and I wonder if they are displaying weather conditions for the month of April, and not May.
