I'm looking at the forecast for next week and the high will be 120 Farenheit (49 Centigrade). The only good thing is that it's a dry heat so there won't be any humidity. Of course, at that temperature, it really doesn't matter. Our tents are supposed to be air conditioned but we will be spending a few days "roughing it" at Udari to experience what it's like working at a forward operating post. That's when we get to work with our body armour on and full gear. It was bad enough doing that in the 95 degree weather in South Carolina. I can't imagine what it will be like in the actual desert. Luckily when I get to Iraq itself I will be working in one of the old Presidential palaces so life will be a lot better. Yeah, I know.

NOT! If I am not mistaken August is usually the hottest month in those parts. Too bad you can't pack a portable air-conditioner with you. :P Take care, Cody.
