Dubai’s year-round sunshine is one of its best-known attributes, but it should come with a disclaimer: Sometimes, there is such a thing as too much sun.
While it’s true that the UAE doesn’t follow the same distinct four-season pattern experienced in many parts of the world, there are still significant differences in the weather throughout the year. From humidity levels to the risk of sandstorms, there are several factors that can affect your experience of the emirate.
Whether you want to get out and explore the desert, spend days at the beach, enjoy the city’s al fresco dining spots, or avoid the crowds altogether, you’ll want to plan the timing of your visit accordingly.
March, April, and November are the best months for beach holidays
Many UAE residents will argue that the country only has two seasons: hot and hotter. And while it will be tough to find anyone who would ever describe the weather as cold, there are certainly times when the UAE’s beaches are devoid of sunbathers.
Winter officially begins in Dubai in mid-to-late December and runs through late March. While these months are still pleasant, there is the risk of unsettled conditions, sandstorms, and rain. Temperatures can dip as low as 54 degrees Fahrenheit during winter, while highs hover around 77°F. January is typically the coolest month, with an average temperature of 67°F and the most rainfall, about 0.7 inches.
From late December to early February, beaches can feel a little on the chilly side, so if sunbathing is your main objective, this may not be the prime time to visit. However, if you want to make the most of city sightseeing while still enjoying some winter sunshine, this is the perfect time to plan your trip. To really make the most of what Dubai has to offer, the months before and immediately after winter are best. November offers the most favorable conditions, with average temperatures sitting at 78°F.
March and April are also good months to visit, although there is more chance of rain in March, with an average of 0.6 inches across the month. Temperatures are usually pleasant, though, averaging 74°F with highs of 85°F. While temperatures start to rapidly creep up towards the end of April, it’s still a good time for sun-seekers, with the monthly average sitting at 82°F and highs hitting 94°F. However, with the best weather conditions come the crowds, so expect these months to be busier, and hotel rates to be higher.
While summer doesn’t officially start until mid-June, temperatures start to sizzle from late April, with the hot months stretching through to October.
