It's usually pretty windy here - small hot island in the Middle East. The sand heats up faster than the surrounding sea, hot air rises, creates low pressure, and surrounding cooler sea air rushes in. Pretty much every day, but more in summer. (You weather experts, what's that effect called? Cata-something, I've forgotten!)
I should know better, but I don't - time after time I set off for a bike ride, and think, wow, I'm strong today, I think I'll try a long one. Then I reach the turnaround point!
