Dubai’s climate is defined by two distinct seasons: a scorching, humid summer and a pleasantly warm winter. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions, but the best time for a UK traveller to visit is between November and March, when daytime highs sit comfortably in the mid-20s.
What is the weather like in Dubai by month?
From June to September, temperatures routinely exceed 40°C, with high humidity making the heat feel more intense. October and April are transitional months, still hot but bearable for short trips. The coolest period runs from December to February, when dubai weather december and dubai weather february average around 24–26°C – ideal for outdoor sightseeing and beach time. Evenings can be noticeably cooler, so pack a light jacket.
What should I pack for a trip to Dubai?
