About UAE Weather
The United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven emirates on the Arabian Peninsula, features a hot desert climate with year-round sunshine and minimal rainfall.
From the gleaming skyscrapers of Dubai to the cultural treasures of Abu Dhabi, the mountain peaks of Ras Al Khaimah to the beaches of Fujairah, the UAE offers diverse landscapes despite its compact size.
The country experiences two main seasons: a very hot summer from May to September where temperatures can exceed 45°C, and a mild winter from November to March with pleasant temperatures around 20-25°C.
Rainfall is rare but when it occurs, typically between December and March, it can cause flash flooding. The east coast (Fujairah) receives slightly more rainfall due to its proximity to the Hajar Mountains.
Whether you're planning a shopping trip to Dubai Mall, a cultural visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, an adventure at Jebel Jais, or a desert safari, accurate weather forecasts are essential for planning your UAE experience.
Our comprehensive weather coverage includes all 7 emirates and over 126locations, from major cities and business districts to beaches, mountains, and desert oases.
