Is winter approaching??

Though its already December so it would be a foolish question to ask but here in Dubai, weather has not cooled down as much as it used to during past years. Today morning was some indication that though late the winter is approaching. They say here that whenever there is a dust storm ..its an indication that weather is changing. I hope that this turns out to be a weather changing storm!!! Thanks to the technology, I could click these photographs on my way to office today morning...And mind well these have been taken at 10 in the morning though it looks as if they have been taken quite early at dawn.
