I just took out my Alfa for a quick drive expecting the weather to be hot but surprisingly, it was great! I was initially going to just drive around the block but ended up driving all the way to the city via the Gulf Road. Would have kept going if it wasn’t close to curfew time.
I don’t think it’s always been like this. Back when I had a convertible I used to tell people you could drive it with the roof down 6 months a year. I’m going to have to revise that number since I’ve been driving my Alfa since mid-October. That’s nearly 8 months if I got the maths right. Obviously it’s too hot during the day but 5 onwards it’s really doable, I didn’t even break a sweat!
So if you’ve ever considered getting a convertible or a classic car but dismissed the idea because you figured you couldn’t drive it for most of the year, well, now you know you can.

I must be living in a different country lol because since the full curfew was over the weather has been extremely HOT.
come out in the afternoon! during the day it’s super hot
Don’t jinx it!!
lol
MAybe great weather for driving a convertible but definitely not for exercise. 5-6 pm, one feels you are melting away with the pavement. Waiting for relaxed curfew hours, next month Inshallah.
the weather is still not that hot, or it became less hot due to less solutions from cars and factories, and I am in a car with out AC.
Hey
Sorry if this is a weird question but i was curious which car is that? (i know its an Alfa but what model)
Its a 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 GTV. you can find some pics and info by clicking this link https://248am.com/?s=alfa+1750
Good one. Well how much does it cost – range would be good to know!
Went for a drive today at 11:00 am and yesterday at 3:00 pm… I was sweating bullets and almost rarely sweat. HOWEVER, still more bearable in comparison to last summer.
Generally, the weather has been surprisingly ‘interesting‘ this year. I went for a walk everyday in March and April which is rarely doable.
There is no difference in the heat compared to last year and no we are not seeing any cooling impact because cars are not plying as much as they used to. Look up the weather history over the past years and you’ll know. The heat is coming.
For those of you who felt it cool yesterday, either you got out early (before 12pm), or your car was in the shade and therefore cooler. In Kuwait the heat starts really going up after 2/3pm and keeps rising till 8/9pm though we don’t feel it as much as the sun is out.
I think the sudden drop of carbon emissions has something to do with this.
It’s interesting – coming up to a year in Kuwait, in one month, so I wasn’t here this time last year. But I was in July.
During the day and in the mornings I notice how hot it is. I get up between 7 – 8am and it’s already too hot to sit on the balcony.
However, from about 9pm it’s amazingly pleasant to sit on the balcony with quite a cool breeze! it’s lovely!
Hi Mark, can we still have access to blog categories same as before. I couldn’t find it.
Yeah I totally forgot about trying to bring that back. Right now you can do it just by manually typing so for example https://248am.com/category/50s-90s/ or https://248am.com/category/coronavirus
Well Thanks to lower Green House Gasses this year all around the world.
Maybe the lock-down and the reduction of cars on the road had a role to play in the weather.
Jinxed already, it’s 49 degrees today and increasing…
standing in the shade you can still feel a cool breeze. I’m going out for a drive in a bit!
So maybe I did jinx it, was warmer today 😔
This pic is a vibe!
