How disappointing is Dubai?

I've just spent 4 hours in a DXB Airport business lounge and it is p Censored sing down with rain - real good heavy tropical rain, none of your light West Coast of Scotland cissy stuff. They have had thunderstorms all night which delayed our arrival (which was still 40 minutes earlier than schedule!). So glad I wasn't coming in Dubai for a weekend break at a beach hotel otherwise I would have been very disappointed to have paid all that money to get to Blackpool in the Gulf (complete with the rotten weather!) Mind you in a few days time the desert will be a mass of flowers and grass!

Sportman and RRSSS might even get to play with the mud and ruts setting of their TR instead of the Sand setting for a change once the rains have passed! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Tim, there has been some truly horrendous weather out in this region lately and believe me, when we have storms here they are quite unlike anything you see in the UK Shocked Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

Yeah, but it was in Larnaca Bay which is about an hour or so from us.

Apparantly it's on Youtube.

Jay, no chances of water shortages this year as dams are overflowing!!!

Having said that, the minute the locals hear that they start hosing down everything and switch their irrigation to max Rolling Eyes Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad

The hailstones at the end were like the ones we had back in October 2006 about a month after we moved here.

We had one of the worst storms ever in Paphos and the hailstones left dents on our beloved RRS which are still there today! Shocked Evil or Very Mad

A trick the locals do if there is a bad hailstorm is put an old mattress over the roof and bonnet to protect it Laughing Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award Sad
