🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Welcome to the Arabian May. Expect intense heat with daytime highs reaching +38°C and a "RealFeel" of +45°C due to humidity. Dress Code: Lightweight, breathable fabrics (linen/cotton) are essential. Always carry a light scarf or hoodie—the transition from the outdoor heat to the aggressive indoor air conditioning can be a shock to the system. Hydration: Drink water constantly; do not wait until you are thirsty. Safety: Avoid direct sun between 11:00 and 16:30. This route uses malls and indoor hubs as "cooling stations" during these peak hours.
