It seems the whole area around my place is somewhat of a construction site wasteland, moving about 24-7. Drop me back in the same area in two years and I'll have no idea where I am.
I was told by some American the other day that about three years ago, a law was passed that prohibits any work when temperature rises to 50C or above. Out of curiosity, he did a quick research online about highest recorded temperatures in Dubai for the last few years... While over a dozen days over 50C appeared every year previous to that law, ever since it was introduced, it never tops 49C...
I didn't double-check that information myself, but I find it a rather interesting fact. At least for me who's spending most of my time in some air-con environment.
