When should you visit Dubai?

Dubai is a great place to visit any time of year, but depending on what you want to do and how tolerant you are of the heat, you may want to take the weather into consideration.

It never really gets cold in Dubai, although wearing shorts in the evenings can become a little uncomfortable around December/January. The biggest problem usually is the heat, with temperatures reaching over 50 degrees Celsius in the middle of the summer.

Here is a rough guide to how the weather will affect your dining experience:

 Dec-Jan

Eat outside during the day, but you’ll need trousers and a light sweater at night.

 Feb-Apr

Perfect weather for outdoor dining in the evenings, sometimes a little too hot during the day. 

Jun-Aug

Too hot to eat outside during the day, but some evenings will be OK. In the heat of the Summer, it can get to hot to be outside at all, except maybe on the beach.

Sep-Nov

Perfect weather again for outdoor dining in the evenings. Some days will be cool enough to have an outdoor lunch.
