Two Sunrises
Did you hear the wind blowing last night? I could hear it whistling; when I got up, at 3 a.m., it was one of those huge sandstorms. I quickly had to re-arrange some things so that they wouldn’t blow away, blow over, or crash with a mighty thud (the plants). Within minutes it had died back down again.
This morning, there is a big surf – well, big for a Kuwait that has had mostly glassy seas and golden sunrises the last week.
Here is yesterday’s sunrise:
Sunrise 7 September 2008
And here is today’s sunrise:
Sunrise 8 September 2008
It’s going to be another hot day, although I think the season is starting, barely perceptibly, to shift. No temperature for this week is in the hundred-and-teens. The forecast for today is 109°F / 43°C and for the foreseeable future, slightly lower.

is it possible to know the exact sunrise time on 21Aug 1970,place Ahemadi-Kuwait
did not feel a thing but when I woke up I found some dust on my car (its black so it shows no matter what) LOL
Sridar, I googled it and I can’t find it. There is a Scientific Club in Kuwait; I bet they could tell you.
Hee hee, the dust looked orange to me, Ansam!
@Sridar
I can help you 🙂

So the sunrise time on 21 Aug 1970 was 05:19 AM.
Funny, I don’t recall a sandstorm. Heh.
not as orange as Oregon’s heehee 😉
Wooo HOOOO, Ab, thank you very much! What a great resource! I didn’t see anything like that when I googled, how did you find it?
