Dubai is typically hot and sunny year-round, so plan for strong sun and high humidity, especially from June to September. The live forecast above shows today’s conditions, which will guide what you pack and how you pace your day.
What is the weather in Dubai like by month?
Dubai’s climate is arid, with two main seasons. Winter (November to March) brings the most comfortable temperatures, with daytime highs around 24–28°C and cooler evenings. For Dubai weather December, expect pleasant, sunny days perfect for outdoor sightseeing. Dubai weather February is similarly mild, though occasional brief showers can occur. Summer (June to September) sees extreme heat, often exceeding 40°C, with high humidity making it feel even warmer. Spring and autumn offer transitional warmth, with April and October still reaching the mid-30s.
What is the 10-day outlook and can I trust longer forecasts?
The weather in Dubai 10 days forecast is generally reliable for temperature trends and the absence of rain, as the region’s stability means little variation. For Dubai weather 14 days or a Dubai weather forecast 15 days, confidence drops for exact daily highs but the overall pattern of heat remains accurate. A Dubai weather forecast 30 days should only be used as a broad indicator of season, not for trip planning. For the most precise planning, check Dubai weather tomorrow and the live forecast above.
Is Dubai too hot in summer for tourists?
Yes, for many. July and August can feel oppressive due to extreme heat and humidity. If you do visit, plan indoor activities during midday and stay well-hydrated. The evenings remain very warm but are more bearable.
Does it ever rain in Dubai?
Rarely. Rain falls mainly between December and March, with February being the wettest month. Even then, showers are usually light and short-lived. You are very unlikely to see rain between May and October.
What should I pack for a trip to Dubai?
Light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are essential. Pack a jacket or jumper for winter evenings or air-conditioned indoor spaces. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are necessary year-round. An umbrella is only needed from December to February.
