Weather reviews

My husband and I flew to the United Arab Emirates last year. We took the risk of visiting this wonderful country in May. We have heard that it is already very hot in the UAE at this time of year. We departed on May 8 for seven nights. We could say we were lucky with the weather. It was on average +32. The sea is like fresh milk, but not boiling water)) I'm a freezing person, so we felt pretty comfortable. But on the last day of rest, some kind of hell broke out. Air temperature +40, complete calm and very high humidity. During the day we sat in the room under the air conditioning, and in the evening we were able to take a final walk.

I was on holiday in Spain in the Costa Brava at the end of June 2023. I have long wanted to go to the Spanish coast, namely the Costa Brava, because of the huge number of positive reviews on the Internet. The weather at the resort pleased me, during the day the temperature was about +28 degrees, there was a constant breeze blowing near the water, which did not cause much discomfort. In the evening, you can throw on a thin blouse, because... the temperature dropped to +21 degrees. The water temperature was about +23 degrees. It was comfortable to swim. Having chosen a holiday in Spain on the Costa Brava, I did not regret it at all!

During our holiday in Sharjah, the temperature was moderately hot and did not rise above +35 degrees. It may sound funny, but in the summer it can reach +50 here. Warm clothes are not needed, because in the evening it’s +30. The rains did not bother us, only fog shrouded the city and high humidity was felt. The sea is 30+, it really surprised me, you almost feel like you’re taking a bath. I love to plunge into the hot summer when it’s already deep autumn at home.

If you want, like me, to stay in a hotel for two weeks with occasional forays into the city, then August is the best month for this! Sarcasm) When the sun is +45 and above, there is no talk of even going to the sea. The water gets so hot that it's not even refreshing. And the rays reflected from the sea surface and the hot sand fry even more. It’s good that the water in the hotel pools was cool. I sat there all day long. And, if she went out into the city, she was sure to hide somewhere where there was air conditioning: in a restaurant or a merchant.

Last year we vacationed with a large group of colleagues in Batumi. I thought it would be hotter. The weather during the day was warm, sunny, without precipitation, and calm, but the temperature was more like the end of spring in a temperate climate. And the nights were generally quite cold. One time we went for a walk around the city at night, and I really regretted that I didn’t take a windbreaker with me. The water in the sea was also not very warm, although some of our group did not want to swim, while others still went to the beach. In general, the weather is not bad for excursions, but a little cold for a beach holiday.

We were in Dubai in July 2023, and we were impressed by the fact that travel packages were starting to get cheaper at that time. Of course, we were very short on a month for rest, since at this time of year they begin to experience wild heat, somewhere around + 40 degrees. The only thing that saves us is air conditioning everywhere. There is high humidity at sea and it hovers all day and night. In the desert there is less humidity, it is a little more comfortable there, we went on excursions. I wouldn’t recommend going to Dubai or the UAE in general in the summer, it’s too hot. I would consider other months for the stay.

We went to Italy to see historical treasures, admire the spring colors of blooming greenery and seascapes. The weather spoiled the impression of the resort a little; it turned out to be quite rainy and cloudy. During the day the average is +18-20°C, at night it is even lower +14-16°C. The city of Bari is not yet particularly popular among tourists, but this is only a plus. Most architectural monuments are located close to each other, which is convenient for walking.

At the beginning of November, my husband and I flew to Hurghada, a wonderful period for relaxation. The air temperature is quite comfortable +30-33°C during the day, sunny, warm, you can safely sunbathe and swim on the beach. The sea water is excellent +24-26°C, even at minimum values. We went to just lie down by the sea, complete relaxation, excursions were left for the next visit, the week flew by unnoticed. In the evening +22-24°C, although by the end of the month it is a little cooler.

Upon arrival in Naples, the picture was bleak: grey, dank, damp and +17 degrees. Of course, I love the rain, but that’s if you take a nap or dream under it) But the reality is that I had to adapt. A few days later it cleared up and the sun began to play somewhere behind the clouds, the temperature warmed up to +22 degrees. Walks to the sea were very inspiring. Someday I will return here in the summer, I think the picture will be completely different.

The Chinese city of Sanya became a pleasant discovery for my husband and me last year. The weather there in May was wonderful. It rained almost every night, but in the morning it stopped, and the Sun quickly dried the sand on the beach. And throughout the day the weather was sunny and hot, similar to our usual summer weather. I was very pleased with the beaches in Sanya. The water temperature was the same as the air temperature and I really liked the clarity and color of the water.
