I used to live in a rather cool and wet MENA climate, but then relocated to the hot and very dry Doha.
Very dry as in very low rainfall, not low humidity. Summer dew point in the Persian Gulf coast is some of the highest on earth.

Finally some rain after so long. The thunder cells at late night were very small but heavy and brought much heavier rain here than in the nearest station.

Heat pumps weren’t made for this weather! Still baffles me that it’s a heat source in these parts

6 below this morning. Up to 1 now. Coldest so far this season. Snowfall up to 19 inches since November 8.

Well at least it's not summer? 
Lol, true but it’s shaped just like a mid-summer heat dome! Only difference is that it’s not as strong with 588+ instead of something like 594+ and further south.
Merry Torchmas, folks. I still am hoping this will fail!
