Regarding the humidity, the weather now is fantastic and the humidity has not even started, so if this feels humid to you, you are in for a bit of a shock!

Yeah, according to the Aramco Weather site, the humidity in RT did not get above 50% yesterday. It can reach 100%.

100% means rain doesnt it?
If it gets much hotter the indian workers outside will die of heat exhaustion....as it is its hotter than an Australian summer. The air con doesnt stop 24/7. i went for a walk this morning and only lasted about 25 min because at 6am its too hot!!!!! From 12-5 its inside tiime and at 5pm its still way hot!

No, not exactly, although if it occurs at higher aludes (in clouds, for instance) it creates the possibility of rain. The following info is collated from the HowStuffWorks and Wikipedia websites:

Well the last 4 or 5 days have been hot but in the late afternoon/early evening its pretty darn nice.......water temp is great.....I go for a swim every evening. Its lovely to wind down after work with a walk along the beach and a swim.....home for a budwiser (NA) and some dinner and a movie.......generally in bed by 9.30 as a 5.30am wake up call makes for a long day.
Im slowly getting used to it. Now I just have to get used to the work side of things. :shock:

I have recently accepted a job at Ras Tanura. Would someone please let me know a little bit about the single housing (a photo maybe)? Also, do the house/apartments have closets or do you need wardrobes? I'm trying to decide if I need to ship my wardbrobes or leave them behind.

Well, here we go. Humidity reading in RT was 92% relative humidity at 6 am today - according to the company's weather monitoring website wassf.net. And we're still in July. August usually has higher relative humidity levels than July so I guess there's a good chance it will hit 100% at some point this summer. |
