Dubai month by month

Plan your visit to Dubai by month. Compare weather, crowds, events, and prices across all twelve months with historical climate data.

Dubai's year divides at a clean seam. From November through March, highs range between 24°C in January and 31°C in November, warm but breathable. December through April account for 6 of the year's 7 rain days, and January alone carries 2 of them, the highest monthly count. Then the heat arrives. May reaches 36°C, June and September sit at 39°C, and July and August both hit 41°C. Rain across those warmer months is nearly absent. The full year totals 7 rain days, so even the wet season is dry by any reasonable measure.

The 12 published month guides below track what changes across that range. If you're planning a winter trip, start with January at 24°C and 2 rain days, then read February and March to see the climb toward 25°C and 29°C. For a shoulder visit, compare October at 35°C with November at 31°C. That 4-degree drop is one of the sharpest month-to-month shifts in Dubai's calendar.

July and August need the closest read. Both average 41°C, the highest monthly readings in Dubai's year. January, by contrast, sits at 24°C. The heat corridor from May through September holds above 36°C for 5 consecutive months with a combined 1 rain day across all of them.

July averages 41°C with 1 rain day, the highest reading in Dubai's year and the center of a 5-month stretch from May through September above 36°C.
