Dubai Weather

Temperatures are at their lowest December, January and February  and then steadily climb. April is still ok but by May it's getting hot and you spend less time outdoors. June is hot and hideously humid, July, August and September are hotter again and even more humid. Humidity levels can get unbearable reaching up to around 80-90% mid- summer.

In September the temperature does start to slowly drop, but it's still very hot. October, we're back to enjoying the beach, avoiding the middle of the day, and November is perfect. 

Throughout the year, temperatures range from a low of about 8 degrees Celsius on winter nights, to a high of 48 degrees Celsius in the midday summer heat. Rainfall is infrequent and happens mainly in the winter. There is a lot of extra indoor entertainment laid on for the kids, so there's always plenty for them to do.

Coping with the Heat

The weather in Dubai gets very hot and lengthy exposure to the sun can quickly lead to sunstroke if you don’t pay attention.

Make sure you use the correct sun cream or sun block so that you protect your skin against the burning sun and the effect of the Dubai weather. A factor above SPF 30 is recommended and use a daily moisturiser or foundation with an SPF too for extra protection.

The sunlight in Dubai can also affect your eyes so please do use sunglasses with the correct UV factor and wear a hat or cap when possible.

Please be careful when drinking any alcohol during the daytime in Dubai and especially when seated outside as you can get extremely ill due to the combination of the alcohol consumption, dehydration and the hot sun.
