Dubai
Luxury, beaches, stopover. May–September unusable outdoors. CBD oil = arrest. Cannabis metabolites = prison.
Forecast keeps changing its mind. Pack a layer either way.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Structural odds, not a verdict — the live forecast can still surprise either way.
Outdoor liveable only November through March. May–September hits 38–42°C with periodic 50°C events (UAE 51.8°C at Sweihan, August 2025). The sea reaches 33°C in August — uncomfortably hot to swim, with dangerous wet-bulb conditions. The 16 April 2024 Dubai flood (130 mm in 24h, two years of rain in one day) was an unprecedented climate-change event.

Common questions about Dubai
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
November–March is when we'd go. Skip June–September: heat that regularly passes 35°C. The live forecast on this page shows what the next two weeks look like.
Is Dubai worth visiting in November?
Yes. November sits inside the best stretch (November–March). Once your dates fall within the next two weeks, the forecast above gives you the real picture.
Is Dubai good in June?
We'd go another month: June means heat that regularly passes 35°C. Locked dates? It still works if you make sure the room has air conditioning that works.
Dates settling? Compare hotels on Booking and flights on Kiwi — both open with the forecast's best window pre-filled.
