Heatwave risk
4 days forecast above 35°C in the next two weeks. Check that your accommodation has reliable A/C.

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.
RecommendedAvoid

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.
