This is the time of the year when temperatures soar up to 123F here in Dubai. I workout in the gym but what’s the temperature got to do with it, since I’m working out indoors? Nothing, so I thought too. But after doing my gym time, I take a shower and that’s when the hellish experience begin.

The water coming out of the shower could cook an egg. I swear! Water tanks are located on top of buildings and when it’s too hot during the day, the water coming out when I turn on the cold valve is so hot I feel it can scald my scalp. One hour of sweating then I take the shower only to sweat more! It was enough to scare me from going to the gym. I have skipped going there since last week. I feel dizzy with the hot water.
