World Record Low Humidy Here Yesterday

Yesterday we recorded a world lowest Humidity, it was incredible that we went below zero humidy in fact it was -35%, I didn't think it was possible, when you spit the water content would immediately vapourise leaving only a little white powder to float in the air, you could feel the skin drying constantly on your lips and eyes and even the hands and face were just dessicating, i have had to start using hand cream for the first time ever and i am constantly using chap stick for my lips, the horizon is just crisp with such an incredibly low humidity, you can see mountains here that are in Algeria which is not very far away and you can make out all the details of the contours and valleys, you can see way into the horizon other mountains that could be 50 miles away, also quite clear, beyond that you can make out others but are just a purple outline, this is winter time and i am wondering how low the humidity will get during the summer time, maybe -100%, a quite staggering low if you can accept that.

I am just 6 days from getting home and have only 5 more working days, i think i have been hallucinating constantly these last two weeks, trying not to get too excited about leaving this desert, but as my manager has been telling me that i am finally going to Australia then i am not too unhappy to be here, I have to accept that you have to suffer before your allowed to enjoy real working environments
