Although the climate of Dubai is characterized by its high temperatures throughout the year; in the summer the heat becomes even more intense so it is not a good time to visit it.

WEATHER IN DUBAI
Weather and temperature information
The climate in Dubai, arid and subtropical, could be reduced to three clear ideas: heat, sandstorms, and humidity. If you control these concepts, then you will have an unforgettable vacation, otherwise, you may find it somewhat difficult to face the day-to-day in this city.
During the summer, temperatures can exceed 50 °C during the day (at night they drop to 30 °C) and are characterised by being extremely humid and windy. In winter the days are sunny and the highest temperatures are 25 °C (which drops to 15 °C at night).
Throughout the year it rarely rains (generally in winter) and sandstorms are very popular, which are usually unbearable for tourists; We advise you to wear a scarf to cover your face and prevent the sand from getting into your eyes or hurting you. The months in which these storms are most frequent are March and April.
As far as humidity is concerned, it is usually more intense in summer and is extremely uncomfortable if we want to take a walk during the day because our clothes stick to our bodies; in winter the climate is less humid, but in any case, given the temperatures, we recommend that you always wear light clothing, cotton and linen fabrics are ideal.
