THE CLIMATE

Most holiday makers want to return home looking healthy, relaxed and with a golden tan! What better place

for this than your choice of holiday destination of Dubai, with its sub-tropical arid climate. The weather is pretty well sunny all year round and rainfall is infrequent, irregular and usually averages about five or six days a year.

Nearly all Dubai residents will say that the best time to visit is between mid-October until the end of May. This is because the summer months can get very hot with a good measure of high humidity thrown in.

That said, tourists still flock to Dubai throughout the summer months, presumably because that is when the school holiday are and air fare prices have a tendency to reduce.

Temperatures can vary from an average of 22 degrees C. in January to an average of 40 degrees C. in July and August.

Bear in mind that it has been known for temperatures to climb well over 45 degrees C. quite regularly in the summer months.
