Summer Heat

I have to note this day! 30th of April, 2008, the real beginning of summer.

The weather today was unbelievably hot. I arrived from school today and sweat was dripping off my forehead. I know it sounds nasty but that's how hot it was today.

I checked the weather forecast for today from the BBC website and found that the maximum temperature is 43 C. My grandfather's car showed 40 C. And the humidity is about 71%. The forescast also shows an increase of the temperature and humidity in the coming five days. This is something to worry about.

I heard rumors in the beginning of this year about a heatwave which will hit the Sultanate. I heard that the temperature may reach up to 50 C. I don't know how true that is but, I would appreciate any information you have regarding this.
