Hot wind

A hot wind is blowing. The temperature which has risen slowly since February is suddenly soaring. It feels as if someone has left one of those hot air hand-driers on. Sitting at the beach, I noticed that the wind direction has changed, and now instead of coming from the North and East, Iran and Iraq, it is a straight Westerly. This air has travelled over Saudi, probably the Sahara before that. Quite a thought. No wonder it's less refreshing.
