UAE weather reviews

Last year in August I flew to Dubai. As it turned out, the weather at this time was not the best; the heat was unbearable. Even at night it was warm. But this does not mean that you cannot have a normal rest. I went to the sea at about 17.00 and swam almost until nightfall. The water at this time is very warm, suitable for swimming for children. In the morning I went for walks around the city, and around lunchtime I returned to the hotel, turned on the air conditioning and fell asleep for a couple of hours. So I had a great vacation.

We visited the UAE for the first time, the impressions are certainly off the charts, amazing aesthetics in everything, during the day there are beaches, at night there are parties, and a lot of excursion routes, everyone can find entertainment to their liking. What was unexpected was the temperature of +38°C in May, it was very hot, only the sea saved us, although its temperature was also off the charts +29°C, I have never seen anything like this. And even by night the thermometer did not drop below +28°C. I would like to come again, but not to such hell.

Last year in March, I was given a three-week vacation at work. I really wanted to go to the sea, so I spent it in the Emirate of Fujairah. The place is very cool, it’s summer almost all year round. It was very warm, ideal conditions for a beach holiday. The sea water was warm enough for swimming, and there were practically no cloudy or rainy days. At the same time, the flow of tourists at this time is relatively small.

I don’t recommend going to Dubai in the summer, unless you like extremely dry and hot weather (and here it can be up to 45+ during the day) or you have no choice and are traveling for work. I was in Dubai on a business trip in July 2023. I can’t say that it was a great trip - you are constantly looking for rooms with air conditioning, choosing special clothes to protect yourself as much as possible from the dry hot air (to understand, at night the temperature drops to a maximum of 30 degrees, and you can’t expect any precipitation at all, unless you are very lucky). So the weather in Dubai in July is still a pleasure.

Last year I vacationed in the UAE in Fujairah. The vacation was in May. At this time of year it is quite hot in Fujairah, the thermometer always showed over 30, sometimes even over 40. A clear advantage in this weather is warm water and the opportunity to swim from morning to night. There is no rain here at all in May, it is sunny all the time. You need to be careful in the sun and wear a hat to avoid getting sunstroke. But overall I liked it.

The country is fabulous, EVERYONE needs to visit it at least once! The only downside is the weather. I naively chose mid-spring for my trip, hoping that it wouldn’t be too hot there. Not so! It's very, very hot here, really like in the desert. In fact, I found out that the Emirates is in the top of the hottest countries in the world. Even at the beginning of the month here in the sun it was already +30 and above. And the further you go, the hotter it gets. There is no talk of any rain. The heat is hard to bear. Even when the thermometer shows “only” +28, it seems that everything is +35.

For the New Year we gave ourselves a gift and flew with my husband to Dubai at the end of February. Our main vacation period was at the beginning of March (March 1-8). To be honest, we were very worried that it would be too cold (we had been to Dubai before, but in January, we didn’t really like it). But the weather played along with us. During the day, the sun warmed up both the water and the air (26C+-), and in the evening there was a slight freshness that did not bring discomfort. Therefore, March is ideal for a comfortable holiday without the sweltering heat that is typical of the UAE.

We love to relax in warm places in winter, so we spent our December holiday in Dubai. Warm, but not hot weather of 24°C - 26°C allowed us to walk around the city for a long time and attend excursions. In the evening it became a little cooler, warm clothes came in handy. The sea was warm 25°C, we swam with pleasure, only sometimes on windy days it was cool to go out. I think it’s a good month both for a beach holiday and for visiting colorful places.

I really enjoyed the April weather here. Once I went to the Emirates in August, when even in the shade it was so hot, I almost went crazy. In April, for Europeans unaccustomed to such temperatures, this is where it’s at. On average, +29-32 °C. Sophisticated tourists, as it turns out, come here at this time: March-April, and then December. It’s great to walk at night: +20 approximately, comfortable)

We decided to relax in the Emirates in the second half of February; at first we wanted to fly to Dubai, but we bought a tour to Fujairah. The tours were cheaper, and the weather during this period of time was usually warmer there. Here we forgot what cold was, because the temperature was 23°C - 26°C, we went to the beach every day. The ocean is not cold 24°C, we swam constantly, especially my husband. We liked this peaceful place with beautiful mountain views.
