Last night the wind whipped up into a sand storm - known as a Habuk.
It was a small one... and at night... so I didn't see the full impact... I've seen daytime photos of a impressive mountainous wall of red dust...and I hear that visibility drops to zero.
And it rained! (albeit briefly)
Afterwards the smell of rain drops on hot ground, and some puddles. This morning everything is dry again of course and it looks extra dusty.
As usual, I can hear chirping of birds, maybe starlings, from the flat, and occasionally a squeal of an eagle or some other large bird of prey. I woke with the thunder of a jet engine. The airport is closed between 8am and 3pm, so lots of flights land or take off before dawn.
Its very hot this morning.
This is the end of my second week here.
