There are just three words to describe the weather in Dubai - HOT... HOT... HOT.

The best months of the year to visit Dubai are during the winter between November and March when the day time temperatures are in the mid to high 20s Celsius (high 70s to mid 80s Fahrenheit). Inland and up in the mountains it is cooler at night.

Summer temperatures can be unbearable in the high 30s/mid 40s Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit) with high levels of humidity as well. However, you may find good hotel bargains during this time.

On average it only rains about five days a year, usually in February or March.
