United Arab Emirates. United Arab Emirates When is the best time to vacation in the UAE

During the holiday season, a flow of tourists from Russia rushes to warm countries. The United Arab Emirates is just such a country, but even here there are periods that are not very comfortable for relaxation.

General characteristics of the climate in the UAE

• winter is warm and short;
• summer is hot and long;
• low air humidity in winter and high in summer;
• precipitation is minimal.

The weather in the UAE is stable, there are no sudden temperature changes, and the transition from season to season is leisurely and smooth.

For most of the year, the weather at the resorts is quite suitable for swimming, sunbathing, and active entertainment. High season begins in the second half of September, when the sweltering heat subsides, and lasts almost the whole year, making small breaks for January-February and July-August. In the winter months, the sea temperature drops to 17 degrees, and if you want to take a walk in the evening, you will have to dress warmly. In July and August, the thermometer inexorably creeps towards 45-50 and even for local residents this is a test. In addition, sandstorms are common in the summer months, a rather unpleasant natural phenomenon for humans.

Which month is better to go on vacation?

The best months for a beach holiday are March, April, May and October, November, December. If you are traveling with a child, these months are also suitable - at this time the sun is moderate and the sea is warm, like fresh milk.

If the main purpose of your vacation is sightseeing and good shopping, then it is better to fly in January or February. Discounts in stores during these winter months reach 80%, and the need for swimming can be satisfied in the heated pools that are available in almost every hotel.

Winter

December The weather in the UAE is one of the most pleasant for any type of holiday. Winter is approaching, and the air temperature is set at +25-26 degrees, just right for a person from our latitudes. At the beginning of December, the water in the Persian Gulf remains at +23-24 degrees, and only towards the end of the month does it begin to lose ground. Reviews from tourists indicate that December is best for traveling with children.

In January The northern winds are already blowing in full force, cooling the air to +23 degrees. It seems to be warm, but taking into account the cool breezes, it feels like +15-17. The water temperature in the sea is completely cold - +17, suitable only for extreme sports enthusiasts. You can freeze in the evening, so it’s better to warm yourself when going outside. There is an influx of tourists during the New Year and Christmas; these days you can make the best purchases - discount season!

In February The air temperature remains at January values, but by the end of the month it begins to rise steadily. The sea is also getting warmer, +17 at the beginning of the month and +22 at the end. There are more people swimming, but overall there are few tourists - it’s a little cold for a beach holiday, and discounts in stores have already ended.

In winter it is better to choose resorts, located on the coast of the Persian Gulf, since the water here is much warmer than in Oman - all emirates except Fujairah and Sharjah. The latter has hotels on the shores of both bays. For shopping, it is better to go to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this is where the largest shopping centers, entire streets of boutiques and shops and the famous gold markets are concentrated.

Spring

In March real warmth is established and high season begins. The thermometer shows +27 degrees, and the water warms up to +24. March, along with December, is considered the most suitable time for a holiday with a child - there is no sweltering heat, and the streets are not so crowded yet.

In April The peak of the tourist season is coming. Sea temperature +25-27 degrees. Combined with a warm, but still refreshing wind, almost ideal conditions are created for relaxing on the many beaches. Daytime air temperatures stop at +33, evening temperatures +25 are also good for walking.

In May The real sunshine begins. The daytime heat of 35 degrees only subsides slightly at night. The sea is warmer than +29 and this attracts vacationers, the number of whom is not getting smaller.

Reviews indicate that spring in the Emirates is the most favorite time of year for travelers. Whatever resort you choose, everywhere you will be greeted by the cleanest beaches, gentle sea and hospitable Arabs. If you are traveling with small children, it is better to choose quieter resorts - Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah or Ajman. During the peak tourist season, prices are moderate and it is not so noisy. And you can get to the Dubai children's entertainment center in half an hour or an hour.

A week before your intended travel date, check the weather forecasts to be sure what temperature the UAE will greet you with. In April-May and in summer you should be careful on the beaches - this is jellyfish season. Alone or in groups, they swim to the shore and can sting. The consequences, although not fatal, are quite unpleasant, so look around often while splashing in the sea.

Summer

In June The thermometer continues to stubbornly creep up the scale, although it seems to be enough. The beginning of June is close to May in terms of temperature indicators, so it is still quite suitable for a beach holiday. Further the air temperature becomes + 39, water +32. The night brings no relief. On top of that, at the end of June, winds from the desert begin to blow, bringing sand with them.

In July Even for local residents accustomed to the heat, nature creates almost unbearable conditions. The thermometer is scary to look at - it often shows the number 50, located above the zero mark. The water in the sea is almost hot +34, and there is absolutely nowhere to cool off except under the air conditioning. Add sandstorms to this, and it becomes clear why even locals try to leave the country at this time of year.

In August the weather is very similar to July, the day starts at 43 degrees and ends with the same. Increased humidity creates a feeling of a sticky film on the body. Air conditioners work at full blast everywhere, but this is what’s dangerous – it’s easy for a sweaty tourist to catch a sore throat! Vacationers are unanimous in their reviews - It’s not worth going to the UAE in summer!

But if you still decide to go to the Emirates in the summer months, then choose Fujairah. This resort is located on the shores of the Gulf of Oman, whose waters are always several degrees colder than the Persian Gulf, which means the air temperature will be lower. In addition, a cool wind blows from the Indian Ocean, which is especially valuable on hot days.

Autumn

In September the heat decides to take pity on people and slowly retreats. But the air and water temperature, which can be called comfortable, is established only in the second half of the month. Average monthly readings are +38 degrees for air and +32 for water. At the end of September, hotels gradually fill with guests, and swimmers appear on the beaches.

In October the coolness gains a few more degrees in its favor - +33 during the day, +29 at night. The water is already capable of bringing pleasure with its warm 27 degrees. Returns lost rights during high season. October, especially in the first half, is good for family holidays.

It rains occasionally in November. The thermometer stops at +30, and at night it drops another 5 degrees. The sea cools down to +24-25 – perfect for swimming!

It is worth noting that the tourist season in the UAE lasts all year round, but there are months when the heat can reach +60°C, so they are not considered the best when to fly to the UAE.

As in all tourist countries, the UAE has a division into high and low seasons. In winter, when the air temperature drops by almost 20°C, the high season begins. If you want to save a lot on your holiday in the UAE, the best time to go to the UAE is summer.

Holidays in the UAE in winter

The weather in the UAE in winter allows you not only to visit a variety of excursions and entertainment venues, but also to swim. According to statistics, the air temperature at this time of year is around +22-25°C. It can only be a little cool in the mornings.

If a beach holiday is not your priority, then during a winter holiday in the UAE you can visit exciting shopping festivals, water parks, dolphinariums, and numerous shops.

Features of holidays in the UAE in spring

Holidays in the UAE in the spring are considered the time when visiting the country will be most comfortable. Due to the fact that the air temperature remains at +24°C, and the water warms up to +23°C, you can swim and sunbathe around the clock.

In mid-spring, the air temperature becomes even hotter by several degrees. In May, the spring weather in the UAE reaches its peak. Despite this, swimming and sunbathing will still be comfortable. During breaks from a beach holiday, you can relax in one of the national restaurants or have a great time in local entertainment centers.

Features of holidays in the UAE in summer

It’s worth thinking a hundred times about vacationing in the UAE in the summer, because the summer in this country is painfully hot. Be prepared for the sea to warm up to +38°C at this time of year and be as warm as tea. As for the air temperature, it will generally warm up to +50°C.

The weather in the UAE in summer is hardly suitable for daytime walks on the street. At this time of year, local residents spend time in many kilometers of entertainment and shopping centers. You can also cool off in an artificial ski resort or in a water park.

Summer is considered not the best time of year to travel to the UAE also because the local holy month of Ramadan falls in June. With his arrival, you will have to be more modest in your habits and emotions.

The holiday season in the UAE begins in October and ends in April. Before your trip, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the weather in the UAE by month.

The United Arab Emirates is located in an arid tropical climate, which explains the presence of deserts throughout the country.

Climate features in the UAE:

• Warm short winter.
• Summer is long and hot.
• Very high temperatures.
• Low moisture coefficient.
• Very little rainfall.

The rainy season is from December to March, but there is also little rainfall during this period. A distinctive feature of the climate is the Shamal wind, which blows in the summer from Saudi Arabia to the low pressure area that forms in the UAE during the warm season. The wind lifts desert sands, forming sandstorms. The water temperature of the Persian Gulf reaches 33°C in summer and drops to 16-24°C in winter.

Weather by month

In winter, tourists are offered numerous heated swimming pools. This is the time most often chosen to get acquainted with the sights and cultural traditions of the UAE.

The winter period marks the beginning of discounts. At festivals you can find products with discounts of over 80%. Late autumn and winter are the rainy season. The season is characterized by short showers and thunderstorms.

During some months of the holiday season in the UAE, tourists can be caught off guard by sandstorms

Sandstorms become more frequent in spring and summer. Some storms can cover entire cities. At the same time, small grains of sand enter the respiratory tract, making breathing difficult and causing severe dry mouth.

Air temperature by month

The UAE (the holiday season by month with descriptions of the resorts are described below) is characterized by high temperatures throughout the year.

In winter, it is recommended to wear warm clothes at night. The coldest temperature is reached in January, February becomes slightly warmer, and the warmest month of winter is December. In January and February, most tourists prefer walks and excursions to significant places in the UAE, as well as visiting shops, since January is the coldest month.

In March, the temperature rises sharply - the difference between February and April is 8°C. The temperature at night is at least 20°C. The beginning of May is the most comfortable time of the year, as it is warm during the day and cool at night.

Between the end of May and the beginning of August, temperatures are very high, which affects all residents. The hottest month is July. People suffer from sunstroke and burns, the heat does not subside even at night. August is more favorable for tourism and business trips. The heat and stuffiness is diluted by the wind blowing from the desert. Throughout autumn there is a gradual decrease in temperature.

Water temperature by month

The UAE (the holiday season by month depends, among other things, on the water temperature in the bays) has very different climates in different parts of the country, which is reflected in the water temperature in the Persian and Ottoman Gulfs.

The table below shows the average water temperatures of the bays:

In winter, swimming is not recommended, but at this time tourists and local residents prefer to sunbathe. The risk of sunburn is almost zero.

The Ottoman Gulf is warming up more slowly than the Persian Gulf. Already in March, the Persian Gulf is warm enough for swimming. At this time, the temperature of the Ottoman Gulf reaches only 15°C. In summer, the water in the Persian Gulf resembles fresh milk, while in the Ottoman Gulf the water is cool.

In autumn, the water in the Ottoman Gulf cools slowly, so by the end of autumn the water temperature of the two bays is approximately the same.

Average annual precipitation

The UAE is a very dry country. Humidity affects the fog and stuffiness, which in turn affects the holiday season. The table below shows the UAE's rainfall and humidity by month.

Total annual precipitation generally does not exceed 800 mm, and humidity ranges from 45% to 90%.

February is the wettest month (about 1/3 of the annual precipitation falls).

In March, rains are rare and end quickly. April is a foggy month. Fog discourages many tourists as it interferes with sightseeing. There is little rain. In May, there is less fog and humidity decreases. In summer, tourists try to go to coastal areas, the coastal areas of the Ottoman Gulf are especially popular.

June is particularly dry, so tourists and locals find refuge in the cool pools and air-conditioned rooms. July is the “stuffiest” month; many note a lack of oxygen. In August, humidity remains at its highest level, but the stuffiness recedes.

At the beginning of autumn, fogs appear, but the humidity decreases. In November it starts to rain, but don't count on downpours. December is not much different from November - but the amount of precipitation continues to increase.

Authorities are concerned about droughts, so Swiss scientists are developing a way to create artificial rainfall for the UAE. In 2010, 52 artificial rains were caused.

When winter begins, summer

The UAE, the month-by-month holiday season in which was described earlier, is distinguished by a long summer, starting in mid-May and lasting until the end of September. This time of year is characterized by sweltering heat, high humidity and solar radiation. During the day, the weather forces residents to stay in air-conditioned rooms or cool pools.

The following people should not visit the UAE in summer:

• With kids.
• Having pathologies associated with the cardiovascular system.
• Having pathologies of the endocrine system.
• Suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

From mid-May to mid-June there are many pilgrims in the country, and there are also restrictions associated with Ramadan. Ramadan also affects transport. Winter occurs in January – February. The winter season is characterized by morning fogs. There is no snow, so the streets are decorated with foam snowmen. At the end of winter comes the rainy season.

The temperature in winter, as a rule, does not fall below 10°C, but in rare cases it can reach 0°C. As mentioned above, winter is a season of discounts, but prices rise quickly during the holidays. There are practically no sandstorms in winter.

Tourist season

The UAE, whose holiday season varies greatly between months, is visited annually by more than 15 million tourists. Depending on the number of tourists and available entertainment, several periods are distinguished.

High season

The beach season takes place twice a year: March-April and October-November. This time is characterized by comfortable weather and warm water of the bays. Sightseeing and shopping are popular during peak tourist season. The streets are crowded and prices are inflated. In winter, the UAE is visited mainly on holidays - there are many festivals.

Low season

In the summer (from May to September) the streets are unbearably hot, it becomes difficult to breathe, so there are very few tourists. Among those who dare to visit the country in the summer, visiting aquariums, dolphinariums, water parks and indoor (under a roof) attractions is popular.

Average sunshine hours per day

In the UAE, the number of sunny days is 350-360 days. The sun is very active, so the number of hours of sunshine is quite high, especially in the summer.

The table shows data on sunshine hours in UAE cities:

During a summer day, the sun heats with different strengths:

The number of hours of sunshine depends on the location of the city - the further north the city is, the fewer hours of sunshine.

Weather in cities and resorts by month

The weather of cities depends on the following natural factors:

• Proximity or distance from the ocean and bays.
• Proximity or distance from the desert.
• Southern or northern location (relative to the general territory of the UAE).

Popular resort cities are discussed below.

Sharjah

Sharjah is a coastal city, the ocean brings some moisture and coolness. The air temperature during the day is 1-2 °C lower than the average temperature in the UAE, but at night it is 2-3 °C hotter than the average.

Temperature by season:

The beach season in autumn is shifted by 1 month (November-December). Precipitation is extremely low, and the average daily number of sunshine hours per day is quite high. The maximum precipitation is achieved in March (10.8 mm), and the minimum in May and June (0.1 mm). Between October and April, precipitation exceeds 1 mm.

Ajman

The weather in Ajman is similar to the weather in Sharjah. For example, the average air temperature varies by about 1°C between months. A significant difference between Ajaman and Sharjah is the amount of precipitation.

Temperatures in Ajman are above average:

• Winter: 24-26°C during the day / 20-22°C at night.
• Spring: 28-37°C during the day / 23-30°C at night.

• In autumn: 31-39°C during the day / 24-38°C at night.

The hottest months are July and August, the wettest month is March (10.1 mm). There is no precipitation in September.

The average daily number of sunny hours is equal to or greater than 10 hours.

The water temperature is above average, so not all tourists decide to swim in October and November.

Ras al Khaimah

Ras al Khaimah, or Ras Al Khaimah, is located along the ocean. The weather in the city is almost no different from average. Daytime temperatures in Ras Al Khaimah are equal to those in Ajman. At night the temperature drops to 18°C ​​in winter and 32°C in summer.

The maximum precipitation is 6.9 mm (in March). During 6 months (from November to April) precipitation falls more than 1 mm. In September the amount of precipitation is 0 mm. The wind blows weakly, bringing very little precipitation and coolness. The temperature of coastal waters, on the contrary, is above average, so the beach season occurs in December-April.

Umm Al Quwain

Umm Al Quwain is the smallest emirate in terms of population. It is called differently: Umm al-Quwain and Umm al-Quwain - due to the difficulty of pronouncing the English name Umm Al Quwain. The city of Umm al-Quwain is the capital of the emirate of the same name, which is surrounded by water on almost all sides, as it is located on a peninsula.

Average temperatures:

• In winter – 24-26°C during the day; 20-21°C at night.
• In spring – 28-37°C during the day; 25-30°C at night.
• In summer – 40-41°C during the day; 31-33°C at night.
• In autumn – 31-39°C during the day; 24-31°C at night.

The water temperature from July to September exceeds 30°C. The amount of precipitation in March is 10.3 mm - this is the maximum value of this indicator. As in Ras al-Khaimah, the beach season in Umm al-Quwain is December-April.

Hatta

Hatta is a mountain resort with no access to the sea. Bedouins have lived in this settlement since ancient times. Climatic indicators are shown in the table below. Air temperatures are within normal limits.

• December – 7.1 mm.

The number of hours of sunshine per day in Hatta exceeds those of most cities, and the wind speed, on the contrary, is below average.

Fujairah

The UAE, whose holiday season is different in months from that in Fujairah, is located between two bays. Fujairah is located on the cool Ottoman Gulf, which influences the city's climate. Fujairah is located in a cool area - the temperature during the day does not rise above 37°C. Minimum precipitation is achieved in June, July and September (0.2 mm).

There is a lot of precipitation throughout the year:

• January – 9.7 mm.
• February – 23 mm.
• March – 32.8 mm.
• April – 6.3 mm.
• May – 2 mm.
• October – 42.6 mm.
• November – 14.2 mm.
• December – 14.8 mm.

Wind speed is low. Fujairah is one of the most popular resorts, as the city is cool, and the amount of precipitation exceeding the norm is not only one of the reasons for lower temperatures, but practically eliminates stuffiness. The swimming season lasts from November to mid-May.

Gantut

Ghantoot is filled with vegetation that is rarely found in the rest of the UAE. The resort is located almost at the very shore of the Persian Gulf.

Average air and coastal water temperatures:

• Winter: 24-26°C during the day / 20-21°C at night / 21-24°C – bay waters.
• Spring: 29-38°C / 23-30°C / 23-29°C.
• Summer: 40-42°C / 32-34°C / 32-34°C.
• Autumn: 31-40°C / 24-31°C / 28-33°C.

There is no precipitation in June. The wind speed in Ghantut does not help cope with the heat, which does not subside even at night.

Abu Dhabi

The capital Abu Dhabi receives little rainfall, but temperatures remain within average ranges.

Day/night air temperature:

• Winter – 24-26°C / 20-22°C.
• Spring – 28-37°C / 23-30°C.
• Summer – 39-41°C / 32-35°C.
• Autumn – 30-39°C / 25-32°C.

In May, June, July, September and October, precipitation does not exceed 1 mm. The maximum precipitation is 9.1 mm (in March). Abu Dhabi includes islands, about 1/3 of the city is on the mainland, which explains the strong (relative to other cities) wind.

Al Ain

Al Ain has no access to the bays, so there is quite little rainfall. The wind blows weakly, which is also explained by the location of the city. The air temperature by month is equal to the average. There is little precipitation - only in March and April the amount of precipitation exceeds 5 mm. Wind speed ranges from 2.9 m/s (October) to 4.4 m/s (May).

The average daily number of sunny hours exceeds 10 hours throughout the year. Due to the continental climate, there is a large difference between daytime and nighttime air temperatures (up to 10.6°C).

Sir Bani Yas Island

Sir Bani Yas Island is part of the emirate of Abu Dhabi. There is very little precipitation (dry tropical climate). In winter there are short periods of rain. Unlike the main part of Abu Dhabi in winter, the maximum air temperature at night is 16°C. The island has a special ecology - the air is fresh, there is a national park filled with wild animals.

Dalma Island

The climate of Dalma Island is no different from the climate of Sir Bani Yas Island.
The wind blows lightly and the water temperature is suitable for diving. The UAE is popular among tourists (during the holiday season the streets are very crowded). The weather varies greatly between months, so it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with basic weather indicators before traveling.

What is the weather like in Dubai in July:

Unfortunately, they have become a regular occurrence in the UAE in recent years.

In 2013, a storm struck on November 17th. In different places along the coast, between 80 and 190 millimeters of rain fell. Schools and colleges have closed. Dubai was even going to cancel the Dubai Airshow. Fujairah and Ras al-Khaimah suffered the most. Roads, houses and parks were flooded. One person was killed - Lieutenant Hasan Rashid Al-Shamili, his car was washed away by the flow of water.

In 2014, on March 25 and 26, a storm hit Dubai and Sharjah. The roads were flooded, and drivers took 3-4 hours to get home instead of the usual 30-40 minutes. A huge traffic jam has formed on Sheikh Zayed Road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

In 2016, on March 9, there was a downpour in Dubai. Car traffic in the city has almost stopped. Almost 300 millimeters of precipitation fell.

In 2017, on March 24, storms hit all the emirates along the Persian Gulf coast. Wind up to 75 kilometers per hour, 95 millimeters of precipitation fell. In Ajman, the stage of The Desert Warrior Challenge was postponed, Etihad planes could not fly to Abu Dhabi, and many kilometers of traffic jams formed in Dubai. The level of road flooding in Dubai can be seen in the photo above, click on the photo to enlarge.

The trend is scary

Since 2013, storms have hit the UAE every year. It is impossible to predict the moment of a storm; therefore, it is difficult to plan a vacation in such a way as to avoid it. Fortunately, the storm will not completely ruin your vacation, but will only “eat up” a few days.

The Emiratis themselves are very afraid of these hurricanes. It is not surprising, because they rarely see rain, a banal puddle is an extraordinary phenomenon for them, and they are afraid of ordinary lightning. In addition, they have no experience driving on wet roads, hence the large number of accidents.

Snow in the UAE

Snow in the United Arab Emirates has been observed three times in the modern era in the mountains in the emirate of Ras al Khaimah.

On December 30, 2004, snow fell for the first time. At the time, this caused widespread reaction in the press in the UAE itself and the world. Sheikh Saud ibn Saqr Al-Qasimi (ruler of Ras al-Khaimah) personally climbed the mountains to look at the snow and took a little to show his subjects.

Snow fell in 2004 as a result of a sharp cold snap, which led to disastrous consequences in the rest of the emirates. More than 500 road accidents have been reported in Dubai, including one fatality.

On February 5, 2017, there was the last case, snow fell on Mount Jabel Jais. A huge line of cars lined up to the mountain, wanting to look at the snow. The authorities did not allow people onto the mountain, but some Emiratis managed to get there and ride the snow slides, as reported by CNN.

In ancient times, the climate in the territory of the modern UAE was not so harsh, it was similar to the Mediterranean. There were even ancient agricultural civilizations here - the Hafit, Umm an-Nar, and Wadi Souk cultures. Read about them in detail in our article “”;

Water and air temperature. The hot summer continues in the UAE. Air temperature +40...+42°С, and sea water temperature +28°С.

Weather. There are no cloudy or rainy days in July. The scorching sun shines 13.5 hours a day. At night the temperature does not drop below +33...+34°C. It's hard to breathe. Tourists and local residents are forced to spend almost the entire day under air conditioning.

Reviews from tourists. Not everyone can withstand hot weather, so the number of tourists at the resorts is small. In July it is much more pleasant and cheaper to relax closer to home.

August

Water and air temperature. In August the weather is as hot as in July. Air temperature +40...+41°С. The water temperature in the Gulf of Oman is +25°C, and off the coast of the Persian Gulf is +32°C.

Weather. The feeling of heat is enhanced by high humidity. In August it exceeds 70%. There is no rain, but the likelihood of getting sunburn and heatstroke is very high.

Reviews from tourists. According to vacationers, the August weather is not suitable for beach activities and excursions.

September

Water and air temperature. At the beginning of autumn the heat subsides a little. Air temperature +36...+40°С during the day and +25...+30°С at night. In Abu Dhabi, Ajman and Sharjah the water is heated to +27°C, in Fujairah - up to +24°C, and in Dubai - up to +33°C.

Weather. Daylight hours are decreasing, but the sun is active like summer. There is no cloudy weather in September. The sea water is too warm, so swimming is not refreshing.
