| Weather |
|
| Dubai enjoys an
arid subtropical climate, with blue skies and sunshine all year round. The
hottest months are between June and September, when temperatures can soar
to 113°F (45°C) and more during the day and humidity levels are very high.
Even the sea temperature touches on 104°F (40°C) during the summer months,
and swimming pools at hotels are usually cooled to be refreshing.
Temperatures are only slightly more moderate the rest of the year, the
coolest time being between December and March. There is very little
rainfall in Dubai, but when showers do fall it is mainly in the cooler
months. |
