Dripping
I can hear the air conditioning laboring away, but when Adventure Man walked in last night, the first thing he asked is “is the air conditioning working?” Part of the problem was that I was using the oven yesterday, but the thermometers are showing the temperatures are nearly exactly what they always are – it is the humidity that makes it feel so hot.
I am fine if I am on the computer or reading – as long as I am not moving around. If I lift something, if I exert myself in the slightest way – I am dripping! I almost wondered if something was the matter with me. Then I realized everyone else was dripping, too, and it isn’t just me.
When we go to bed at night, our windows are hazed with moisture to the point that we can’t see out. My skin gets all itchy from the salty sweat, and I am showering three or four times a day! What is this?
Is this normal for October? I thought I remembered this kind of humidity in August, but not in October! It’s only going to be 102°F/39°C today – and Friday, the forecast says it won’t even break 100; it will be 98°F/37°C. Wooo Hoooooo!

Yeah this is normal for October, first time I came to Kuwait it was in October and the only thing I remember is the humidity. Today it’s 78%.
Dripping is bad!
I was surprised too at the sudden humidity that came upon Kuwait the last week or so. Saudi Arabia was cooler and less humid.
Elijah – I was back in Seattle last October, so I guess I must have missed it.
Kinan – It is so bad! So embarrassing! Aren’t women just supposed to GLOW, not drip? ? ?
1001 – Hamd’allah ala salaama, habeebti! You must feel so wonderful.

Well yeah, it’s bad ou there & sure ain’t normal… you should have someone check the AC .. we ge this problem all the time..
ugggh…I’m wet, I’m dry, I’m wet, I’m dry-ing, I’m HOT and sick of being hot..this humidity is uggggg lol..my glasses fog up sooo badly from being in the AC and then the sudden change outside…it was pretty bad in Dubai too (as of yesterday evening, when we left to come back home), but Saudi was blissful when I was there 2.5 weeks ago, alhamdulillah! Take lots of showers, and insha Allaah we’ll all be ‘cool’ soon enough when winter comes 🙂
