Weather & Climate

The climate in the United Arab Emirates is generally hot and dry. Summer temperatures along the coastal plain during the summer months of July and August regularly soar to 48 Celsius, with later months of the summer often adding humidity to the heat. The mountainous regions of Haajar Gharbi and Ras al-Khaimah to the east are somewhat cooler due their elevation, with average minimum winter temperatures in January and February being 10 to 14 Celsius. Average annual rainfall in elevated locations can often reach 350mm, whilst the coastal plain receives as little as 120mm, most of which falls in the cooler months in short torrential showers sometimes causing minor flooding. October to April is considered to be the most pleasant time to visit the UAE because of cooler daytime temperatures.
