Dubai's Climate
The city of Dubai is situated on a coastal strip bordered by a desert and gets very hot and humid in the summer. Cooler, more pleasant weather lasts from the end of September to beginning of May. From May to September the sun is intense and temperatures can touch 50 degree Celsius in the city and even higher in the desert! Due to the scorching heat coupled with a humidity of 80-90% near the coast, you have to refrain from daytime outdoor activities during summer.
Temperatures range from a low of about 10 degrees Celsius on winter nights, to a high of 48 degrees Celsius in the midday summer heat.
The months of January and February generally produce the highest rainfall, if any. Usually it amounts to about 13 centimeters, spread over five days per year.
Due to weather changes around the world, in recent years the winter months in Dubai have seen quite unpredictable weather. Believe it or not, Dubai sometimes gets bouts of heavy rain that leaves streets, roads, and sometimes homes flooded. Of course this is almost always followed by the usual sunshine. Occasionally, heavy winds stir up sandstorms that make driving conditions difficult since visibility on the roads is severely reduced.
It’s important to know exactly what to expect of the climate in Dubai whether you’re here for leisure, business, or to stay. With this information in hand, you’ll be ready no matter what nature has in store.
