As I sit here this morning with the AC blasting in the office, the temperatures outside continue to rise into the mid 80's and occasionally low 90's.
There are three seasons here in Djibouti...I wish there was a 4 seasons...
We have Cool season, Rain Season, and Hot Season. We are currently experiencing Cool Season, which you can imagine isnt so cool but its not to incredibly hot either. Sometime around January we'll start to get some much needed rain for a couple months. To be honest I can't wait for May-September! HOT season...I love how its not called something pleasant like summer or spring, just HOT season. I'm talking about heat you'd only experience in Africa. I was talking to some people around base about the hot season and I've never seen anybody laugh with a grin on their face, but they were, and I had asked one of them "What? does it get up to about 130?" he laughed again and said "nope, thats in september.", at this point I really began to sweat, and he then explained that the temperatures around here on base get up to about 150 degrees. When it gets to be about that time and temperature, look for a video of me tryig to cook and egg on the sidewalk...I'm seriously going to try. The guy also warned me that when you wake up in the morning it will already be in the 120's... Oh boy!
