Time Out wins 'most pointless article' award

In one of the world's most pointless articles ever, Time Out Dubai has helpfully published a ticklist to ensure people here do actually realise that summer has indeed arrived in the UAE. A whole 25 points, indeed.

A couple of them did make me laugh though:
- You can’t decide whether you should be covering up to survive the AC or wearing shorts and T-shirts to avoid boiling to death! Very true
- You get third degree burns getting into your car. Ouch yes.

However, if you'll forgive me for stating the obvious, surely the biggest clues might be:
- it's 41 degrees at 9 o'clock in the morning (like today)
- temperatures are expected to 'drop' to 31 degrees overnight
- everybody leaves town and goes to places like London where you get normal weather

Based on this morning alone, I'd also add:
- you seriously consider whether it's worth risking a 150AED parking ticket to reduce walking distance between car and entrance
- you get dressed in a nice cool apartment and, on stepping outside, very quickly realise there is absolutely no natural fibre content in your trousers
- your banana gets cooked in your handbag!
