Beautiful from October to April. Sand storms and humid, thick, hot air in the summer. - Jul 2013
The air is ok. During the summer it is quite hot, so one would want to stay indoors. During the infrequent sand storms, obviously, one doesn't want to be outside - Aug 2011
Generally good. We get a lot of sandy days where the city is covered with haze, but, as someone who does suffer with hayfever and asthma, it's not too bad. I've not had any problems. - Jan 2011
