One of the most common things people tell me is that being here in Virginia must be a relief coming from the scorching temperatures of Yemen. The truth is that it is MUCH hotter here than Sana’a. Not only that, but it us much more humid. For all of the bitching I do about Yemen, the weather in Sana’a is damn near perfect. Right about now the temperatures are between 80 and 90 with almost no humidity on a regular day. It cools down to the low 70s at night. Of course if you go down to the coasts of Yemen, you’ll get a full dose of Saudi peninsula heat and humidity, but I’m not stupid enough to go down there this time of year:-)
