One of the factors that seem to dictate the trend
in Dubai tourism (i.e., the number of tourists to Dubai at any given
period of the year) is, as you might expect, the weather. Throughout the year, the weather in
Dubai is characterized by sunny days. This is understandable
considering that Dubai has an excessively dry subtropical climate.
Summer in Dubai, which is during the months of July to September, can
be very humid and hot. The temperature during this time is around 45 C
(113 F), although it can peak to 48 C (118.4 F), especially in the
inner areas of the city. The humidity level, on the other hand, can get
to as high as 90 percent. Shamal (Arabic for wind) blows from mid-May
to mid-July, and causes large sandstorms.
A marked decrease in temperatures is experienced beginning October. For
the entirety of this month, temperatures range from a low of 26 C (78.8
F) to a high of 36 C (96.8 F). The weather in Dubai begins to be
comfortable for tourists in the months of November and December. During
this period, temperatures range from 21 C (69.8 F) to 30 C (86 F). Some
rainfall likewise occur during these two months.
Winter sets in at the start of the year and ends around the end of
March. It is during this time of the year when Dubai experiences an
increase in the number of tourists because of the ideal weather.
Average minimum temperature during this time is 14 C (57.2 F), while
average maximum temperature is 29 C (84.2 F).
Beginning April up to late June, the weather in Dubai turns warmer.
Temperature during this period is anywhere between 34 C (94.2 F) and 41
C (105.8 F). Humidity level at this time ranges between 50 and 56
percent. Also during these months, the days remain sunny for 10 hours
or so.
Rain is scanty for the entire year, with the highest precipitation
taking place during the winter months of January to March. The average
rainfall in Dubai for the entire year is only about 13 centimeters
(just a little over 5 inches).
Here are the temperature averages in Dubai, on a per-month basis:
• January and February - 20 C (68 F)
• March - 23 C (73.4 F)
• April - 25 C (77 F)
• May - 30 C (86 F)
• June - 33 C (91.4 F)
• July and August - 35 C (95 F)
• September - 31 C (87.8 F)
• October - 28 C (82.4 F)
•
November - 25 C (77 F)
• December
- 22 C (71.6)
In a nutshell, the weather in Dubai is marked with year-round sunshine
and very little rainfall. Those who are planning to visit Dubai should
choose the period in the year in which they think they will best enjoy
their travel to that destination.
