Hot Summer Nights

"OMG! It's soooo hot in the summer months Denise!" - EVERYONE in Egypt
eh, not really.
I was ready for unbearable, ridiculously hot summer days once may got here.
And honestly...i'm still waiting. It's definitely hot, but damn. Mexico and Miami in the summertime are much much worse this time of year. Key Difference: Humidity. In Monterrey it's 99 degrees, feels like 108. Here it's 97 degrees and feels like 94. So the whole sweating the second you leave the AC and sticking to virtually everything you touch is happily left on the western front. All you have to deal with in Cairo is intense sun, no biggie just have ur sunblock on deck. However, 'Upper Egypt' which is actually in the south (Upper referring to the plateau), is absolutely ridiculous hot. I will pass on the 115 degree weather, thanks.
So next time someone tells me that the Cairo heat is insane, I'll let them know they need to take a quick trip to my homeland and stick it out in the humid summers of the deep south.
